Seven reasons Donald Trump would hate being president. Love refuses to endorse Trump. Love, Owens begin airing TV ads.

Happy Wednesday. There's a conspiracy theory out there that GOP nominee Donald Trump is actually trying to sabotage his own campaign because he really doesn't want to win. In some ways, there could be good reason. Should he win, Trump will loathe the next 1,460 days of his life. As someone who has never worked in Washington, never obtained a security clearance, never received an ethics briefing, and never assembled a team of experienced policy aides, Trump will be in for the shock of his life when he realizes starting January 20, 2017 just how much harder – and different – running a government is from running a private business. Politico Magazine looks at the seven reasons Trump would hate being president.
