I think he already had his name in the history books because of the buildings he has built around the world.
Even before his t.v. show I would hear his name come up in casual conversation. Like if somebody were buying drinks for everyone at the bar you'd hear someone say: "What, do you think you're rich like Donald Trump?"
So he was kind of already famous and part of our culture. I can remember when I was a teenager in the 1970's if people were busting your balls about spending money they'd call you "J. Paul Getty" or "Rockefeller". By the 1980's that had changed to "Trump".
I sort of take him at his word. He said in the very beginning of his campaign that he is the only candidate with something to lose.
The rest of them are all politicians. If Cruz doesn't win...he just keeps on going as the Senator from Texas for instance.
But Trump is not only spending his money...but he's devoting all of his time to his campaign instead of running his companies.
I think he honestly believes he can "make America great again". Now whether you or I think he can is another story...but I believe that HE believes it.
And that's the way you have to think to be successful at anything.
