Don't tell me Trump - or even Clinton for that matter - is so damn patriotic that they are doing this "for their country". I don't believe that for a moment. And they surely aren't doing it for the money either.

I've wondered that too.
I think it is one of 2 things: 1) If you are a politician, like any job, you climb the ladder of success to try to make it to the top.
2) If you are very rich and old, you are probably bored. Your business doesn't excite you anymore, you've been everywhere, seen everything, etc. Why not run for president?
