For all that he swears in public that he will stay on as candidate for the presidency, Mr Trump conveys a different impression. To me he looks like a man trying on a role for size; it intrigues him, just as he wants to see how far he can get in it – and yes, get away with it – without really lusting for the White House. He’s probably not given too much thought to what he would do if he were elected in November. Despite the blustering promises to take clamant action from Day One, Mr Trump is not really looking that further ahead. Rather, he is in the moment, and loving it, and being brazen about it, not particularly caring who comes with him in the storyline, but alert to the risk of getting bored by this whole show.
