Moore, writing on The Huffington Post, says that Trump ran for president as a negotiating tactic, hoping to leverage a higher pay packet from NBC. According to Moore, who does not name his source, Trump continued his campaign only to increase his stock with other television networks. “And then something happened,” Moore writes. “Trump fell in love with himself all over again, and he soon forgot his mission to get a good deal for a TV show,” Moore writes. “Maybe the meltdown of the past three weeks was no accident,” writes Moore.
