Trump told the AP in 2016 that had he been able to buy the Bills, it’s unlikely that he would've run for president.
“If I bought that team, I wouldn’t be doing what I’m doing," he said.

Him saying that if he had bought that team he would not have run for president seems pretty clear to me. How do you interpret it that makes it so stupid?
He was saying that if he had bought the team then he wouldn't have the time to run as President.
I'm not understanding why this is something nefarious.
To me it is simply pointing out effective time management as a businessperson.
But since you think about Trump more than Trump thinks about Trump, what do you think he was thinking?

Exactly, he would not have had time to run for potus. That and the obvious, he would not WANTED to run for potus as I stated in the OP. Running for potus was always nothing more than a way to increase his brand and schmooze with the elite. That all the rhetoric he has pumped out is merely his hook that has landed him such a following.

I don't see anything nefarious either, just a phony or at most secondary patriotism

Certainly. But NOT as the savior of America as he continues to portray himself.

First, I find that a simply silly comment. For every post I make about Trump, he tosses out a dozen or more about himself..And what do I think he was thinking? That, as I stated in the OP, his attempt to be what he wanted to be, a professional football team owner, which if we see his attempts to do so throughout his life was more important to him, up to the time that he ran for potus than the people of the United States ever were.
To be honest, your OP just kinda trashed your programmed idea that he thought he was the next Jesus who just ran for President because of his ego.
Meanwhile, you personally are paying more for gas, groceries, services, taxes because of our current pResident.
Your choice.

He's making way more money being a former president than he ever would owning the Bills. I'm sure Jared is letting ol' Trumpy-in-law get a slice of that $2 billion pie served up by Saudi Arabia a few years ago. If anything he's probably thanking Cthulhu that he didn't go the NFL owner route, but the quote is still very telling.
