The article in Time on October 9th, 2020, "Why Did Trump Run for President" mentions that by 2015, more than a decade removed from the smashing success of The Apprentice, Trumps brand -- always his most marketable and valuable commodity -- was foundering, his golf courses were losing loads of money and he had nine-figure loans coming due. Everything from the early days of Trumps presidential candidacy suggests that this was much more about boosting a brand than any serious campaign to actually wind up as the Republican presidential nominee.He was transformed in the public mind from titan of industry and reality TV star to over-the-hill carnival barker. And worse, he was in dire financial straits, with no obvious prospects to turn things around. Running for president was one of the last cards Trump had to play. His candidacy was borne of desperation, not of a desire to serve.
最新一期的美國《時代》周刊題為《特朗普為何參選總統》的文章稱,特朗普最具市場價值的品牌——真人秀節目《學徒》,在十多年前獲得了巨大成功,但從2015年開始呈現頹勢。此外,他的高爾夫球場虧損嚴重,還有九位數的貸款也將到期。特朗普競選總統初期的一切都表明,與其說他在參加共和黨總統候選人的嚴肅競選,還不如說他是想借此提升自己擁有的品牌。在公眾心目中,特朗普已經從一個工業巨頭和真人秀明星轉變為頹勢盡顯的“叫賣者”。更糟糕的是,他陷入了財政困境,并且沒有跡象顯示局面將會扭轉。競選總統是特朗普能打的為數不多的幾張牌中的一張。他的參選是出于絕望,而不是為了服務。
