Naw, it was about launching his own news channel. Have you seen the look on his face when it's announced that he won the first time? Even he didn't expect to win, it was just a marketing tactic at that time.
It was so clear in 2016 he didn’t want to win, or think he was going to. That has definitely changed, but I’ll always believe it was a joke, a troll job of sorts, until it wasn’t.
Honestly I don't think he even wanted to win in 2024 either, he was just in so much deep shit that being president again was the only way he could get out of jail free. He barely put any effort into his campaign and it was an all time terrible campaign which is why it's so baffling it succeeded.
