I think that people try to understand, rationalize people through their lived perspective rather than sitting down and thinking about life from the perspective of the other person.
Narcissism
One, in order to run for President. and then become President, you need a level of narcissism because you have to think, believe, now and, be able to convince others, that you are the One. Now you might have a breadth of other personal characteristics but you must believe you are The One.
You might believe you are The One who can lead properly, who can fix things, who can get other things done, who can stand up to different kinds of pressures—-you have to believe all of that about yourself. You might have private moments of doubt but I’m thinking you have to have at least 98% absolute faith in your abilities and your ability to learn the abilities you don’t have, or hire the people who do have those lacking abilities.
Value Over Life
I think you also have to want it to the value of your life. By that I mean, someone might try (and the public will never know how many maybes or threats there are) and succeed in an assassination attempt. You have to be comfortable giving your life to this run/opportunity figuratively and literally. Somewhere in this process—-as I know happened with Obama because he’s Black—-but with everyone since the first assassinated President—-someone sits you down—-wife, family, friends, eventually as society and technology progressed—-government officials, military folk, psychologists, Oprah, and do a deep discussions with you about the inherent threat of assuming this position. The target it puts on you for the rest of your life and your family. Forever.
You in many ways are risking their lives too, changing their lives forever. You have to not only be comfortable allowing this, perpetuating it with your running, and possibly winning, but also negotiating this with your family for their acceptance and assistance. You’re risking and deeply changing the entirety of their lives, forever, with this target. Sure there will be protection but as Jackie O showed through climbing under Onassis, that target might be so powerful that you’ll do any (one) thing to be safe.
Money and Resources
The upside is that you and your family will always be “okay”—-Upper Middle Class to Rich since Eisenhower’s term and pensions put into place. But by the time you get to this step the vast majority of the candidates are Rich (worth $1 to 11 million or more) or Wealthy (worth 10s of millions with millions coming in yearly.) And you’re also pretty much guaranteed millions more for speaking engagements and books and media productions, when you leave office. Let’s call that a soft $20 to $100 million to $1 Billion, over your lifetime and through your children to grandchildren to great-grandchildren.
Ideology
You might even think your way is right. That you know best. That you understand the world, government, people, the future. You KNOW. Or you’ll figure it out……lol
It’s Fun!
No one probably can seriously mention this in public but you instantly get promoted to American Royalty and all of the pomp and circumstance and drama and retinue and revelry and cheers and pictures and movies and books and just general public gushy gushing orgasm about YOU. Forever. That’s a total Ego Feed right there. Not to mention all the places you get to go, secrets you get to know, people you get to meet—-the world becomes your oyster.
The Challenge
By the time you get to this point, serious about making an effort to win, you’ve probably climbed and surpassed several challenges in life. The Presidency is a combination of business mogul, government leader, statesman, celebrity-icon and symbol of the Republic. You can achieve some of these, generally independently, it’s hard to crossover. This is the totality of those—-perhaps of all forms of notoriety and fame on Earth.
Also you’ve done stuff before it, been a mogul. Rocked being a mogul. There’s a limit to how many times you can mogul in the way you’ve moguled before it gets old moguling. What if you could combine this shot and REALLY play the game? Do some historic shit! Do things that will be in the history books forever? (There’s a lot of Forever (Narcissism/Power/Interests) attached to being President, even if it changes—-you move the World Needle a bit—-you have global effect.)
Power
Downplayed but present always. From your retinue of trained assassins to protect you at all times. To the bowing and kneeling and people not even addressing you by your name but by President, Mr. President, is the closest and perhaps, surpasses, being royalty. Royalty you can kind of be the lucky sperm-egg, but one becomes, aspires to, does what one has to, in order to attain the Presidency.
It’s a Power Game that you probably are proof of being the best in the country, if not the world, for your time at being/playing. You have outplayed hundreds of elite folk for the position. That’s narcissism in an erection right there.
Plus you know you get to blow up shit and order your assassins and armies into battle and change the LINES on world maps and for a brief time really scare the shit out of everyone. (Which might also translate into all the pussy and ass and dick you can think of, want, point at. No, someone, some President, several I’m sure, have taken advantage of being the biggest swinging dick in the room and what that does to men and woman, and makes men and women, beddable.)
In here I would add that at a certain point of designing your life—-business, political, etc. where you get to the point of believing you’re The One—you discover something about Fate-Destiny. You can shape it, control it, form your own. Most people—-maybe 90% of the world’s population don’t know this at all. The rest struggle and master it; it’s like a secret code and you know the internal password .
What do you want in your life?
Anything I want.
When you achieve that answer and recognize you design fate, Destiny and decide to act it out, express it, count your minor to medium accomplishments, you’re on your way to recognizing yourself as The One… which puts you on track to choosing a design/path. It’s a Self fulfilling cycle.
Relationships-Teamwork
Humans talk so much about teamwork but don’t really apply it when looking at the Presidency—-perhaps because the fame glare is too bright or because it involves personal beliefs/ideology and the projection of identity onto this singular person.
BUT
I look at all of the candidates on each side (my hope is that we'll get more and more from the Independent team instead of just the two major teams we have playing on the field now). Say there are 5 candidates on Team A, 5 on Team B, 2 on Team I(ndependent).
The JOB of everyone on Teams A thru I is to get the front runner to be, stay and leap over the line as front runner, to be the Party final nominee.
Which means there is 1, maybeeeeeeeeeeeeee 2 people, on each Team that the supporting Party have as their “choice” for Party Nominee. The 2nd person is probably a failsafe in case Front runner #1 drops dead. But them other 3 political bitches?——they are to rally, gather, corral, seduce, pull in, convince, lie to, manipulate the tens of millions of people from normal citizen voters to other politicians to Electoral College folk to media to celebrities to foreign interests to business people to align behind Choice # 1. That’s all. They’re there to get the 1 or 2 million people from their pissant state to lean towards Choice # 1. Which means that it’s a shill game, a manipulative shill game. You’re corralling folk to a bottleneck to surge Choice # 1 to the Final Fight.
Everything else, everybody else is bullshit, completely unimportant.
BUT
You might help us get the spectrum of people from extreme to normal because you and your opinions and thoughts and suggestions will be in alignment on their ideological “position” on hot button issues:
- —-Candidate Bob: Anti-Abortion in God’s name because God tells him at night abortion is wrong
- —-Candidate John: Completely Against Abortion because it’s just not morally right to zap some cells that MIGHT become life; that’s just wrong
- —-Candidate Chris: Abortion Isn’t Generally Wrong, Unless There’s a Reason
- —-Candidate Joe: Abortion is A Personal Decision, But there are more important issues we should be focused on like___________
- Party Nominee Candidate: Yes, I have an opinion, many on it that sway based upon what the courts, women, doctors, society, the Pope, this guy Ramon, my fellow Candidates, my party, Missy Elliot and Billy Graham, think about it—-it’s a blender mix which I will completely confirm…….if I’m the Party Nominee for sure-for sure.
The first 4 candidates are merely fly paper to get the flies (you, the extreme or normal, voter) to stick to one and then he brings you in to the Hive Mind, under the Candidate, and then they’ll count which Candidate got the most flies and the Final Candidate will pretty much come down on that opinion and the runner up opinion. (You get some Power, level up in Influence and perhaps even get to be the Party Nominee REAL Candidate, in future elections. All da bitches get paid, bottom bitches, Top Bitch, fresh meat bitches! Everyone!)
But you get about 100 million people to align under you—-larger than any standing army, bigger than some country’s entire population, and perhaps one day with a little effort, luck, and you becoming really important, as big as Kim Kardashian’s Instagram following…….. (Yes, I am insinuating that there will be someone from this family as President within the next 50 years, at the very least a “serious” candidate.)
And this next one below, I think she might be on the VP ticket, or in the future Party Candidates team. (She’s doing Party Teamwork rallying with books and speeches and podcasts—-ummm hmm. And she’s one of the Blacks AND a woman.)
Interests (Power and Narcissism Synergy)
Which should really go under Power but is sort of what happens with the left hand while waving with the right. Like we all do—-you help out friends, people you like, and most importantly to your legacy—-your family and friends for at least 100 years. You can boost them in a dozen ways, you can have an EFFECT on the people closest to you and millions of others across multiple industries. Your Network is your Net Worth—-which is why every President is the equivalent of a Billionaire.
“Hey, can I borrow your private jet?”
You’re never without friends who have Influence—-everywhere, anytime, anywhere.
“My son accidentally killed some underaged prostitutes in Bangladesh, can you help? Thanks.”
If you notice a lot of these points kind of funnel into Narcissism, I’m just saying.
“My daughter wants to have dinner with Kim Kardashian. Can you make it happen? Thanks.”
While your pre-Presidency interests/company is put into a blind trust which you can’t touch and…….yeah, okay… that’s like: “Solicitation? Favors? No, no, no, Officer, I was just talking to the prostitute on the corner at 2 AM to ask her what she thought of silver and gold mineral deposits in Venezuela. Solicitation? Me? Never!”
You suddenly can influence interests all over the planet for a multitude of outcomes that in your previous life as a minor mogul might have been outside of your reach or too big, but NOW you da motherfucking President, motherfucker!——people take your call.
Everyone takes your call.
Everyone.
Why run for President?
He wants the above and probably some idiosyncratic thing—-a view from a plane, to write something in urine on a wall, a picture next to the aliens—-something that we can’t fathom—-Rosebud!—-it’s not big or perhaps even truly valuable to anyone else, like all of y(our) desires are.
You know why I write books?
I write because because I want ___________________________________________.<<<<That's why.
“You can’t make this up, kids. Only (from) New York.”
