Yeah, but that includes the people he would be elected to represent.
Unlike many of the other candidates, Trump doesn't need the job; leading the country isn't a career or personal goal he seems to have worked towards achieving.
Trump used his fame and fortune to enter the race and claims that he'll use his fortune to get what HE wants done, which happens to be what about 25% of the Republican-registered voters appear to want done as well. That's a small percentage of the total U.S. population.
Everyone who disagrees or questions Trump is dismissed by him, without consideration. And, he seriously claims he can buy the compliance and respect of world leaders, though the U.S. gives more than his total net worth to Israel alone each year.
Donald Trump IS his own money-fed special interest group. That's worse for the country, in my opinion, than politicians who are beholden to many different special interest groups and need to worry about re-election and/or their careers.
