Rachel Maddow thinks Donald Trump doesn't really want to be president

Donald Trump is like a daily professional birthday present, Rachel Maddow and Jimmy Fallon agreed on Thursday's Tonight Show. Trump dumps news soundbites like manna from Heaven and practically writes his own jokes. But "do you think he wants to be president for real?" Fallon asked the MSNBC host.

"I can't imagine," Maddow said. "I can't imagine that he wants to be president. Look at what happens to people who become president. Like, Barack Obama is 40 years older than when he got sworn in seven years ago." And George W. Bush, she added, "went from, like, a charismatic frat boy to, like, a retired university president who's fallen on hard times."

Trump, meanwhile, seems to just be taking a break from ostensibly running his business. "I don't think he usually has to work very hard, so I can't imagine that being president seems like fun," she said, though "maybe he could be elected and then he'd, like, outsource it to somebody." If you watch below, you'll also see why Maddow thinks Trump is actually kind of a political genius, and why it's still smart for him to run, even if he really doesn't want the job.
