He's 100% committed to getting the Presidency to extricate himself from his situation, and using that office to keep himself out of the reach of justice.

Attempted by Julius Caesar, Napoleon, and Capt'n Jack Sparrow.

Trump is welcome to the club then. He’s got his own line of steaks, just like Caesar has his salad, Napoleon has his ice cream, and the captain has his cereal.

The crazy part is not that he wants to do that ... there are probably countless wannabe politicians that have that as a motivation.

The crazy part is that he has a following and an actual chance that he could do it.

The insane part of current US politics is not Trump ... the crazy part is this current culture of political leaders and financiers who are piling their money behind some nut job and generating this following of people that actually believe it all.
