What happens if Trump raises hundred(s) of millions of dollars by 2020 and then decides not to run? I'd say the odds are at least 50/50 that he is raising money in anticipation of not running again.
He wouldn't get to personally keep the money, something he may or may not be aware of.
That's true, but I was thinking he could invent himself a political cause to put the money towards, and businesses he or his friends own would conveniently be the primary recipients of all or at least most of the contracts. I wouldn't put it past Trump for a second to try a scam like that. It just about lines up with what he has been doing his whole life.
Put out a new book called "President Trump" or something and spend all of his campaign funds on buying copies of that book, or just doing any of the other things Sarah Palin has been doing for the past 8+ years
