Nobody Expected This: The Campaign That Wasn't Supposed to Win

On election night 2016, even Trump's own campaign manager was already reaching out to television producers about post-election work. The candidate himself had spent months telling his wife Melania there was "no way he would win"-a promise that seemed absolutely certain until the electoral votes started rolling in. This wasn't false modesty. The Trump campaign had accidentally replicated "The Producers," creating a show designed to fail but somehow succeeding spectacularly. When victory became inevitable, witnesses watched Trump's expression morph from befuddled to disbelieving to horrified in rapid succession. He had wanted to become "the most famous man in the world" and was already planning a Trump television network. The presidency? That was never actually the plan. Yet here we are, watching what happens when a reality TV star who never expected to govern suddenly has to figure out how to run the most powerful nation on Earth.
