Here's evidence to suggest that Trump was more interested in becoming president than being one:
1 -- apparently unware of the demands of the job:
https:/
2 -- Playing golf so far 147 times since becoming president, more than doubling the rate Obama achieved (similarly, he has visited Mar-A-Lago, ie his holiday resort, at least 10 times in 2017 alone, including four times in the first month):
https:/
3 -- Surprise at winning:
https:/
4 -- Horror at winning:
https:/
Source 4 is disputed by the White House, naturally, and one should be wary of taking claims from a book designed to make money as gospel, but it nevertheless fits nicely into a pattern. Trump has been a fairly successful businessman, and being President disrupts that, although campaigning didn't.

As to evidence that Trump admires strong men, I could refer you to the time he quoted Mussolini (and then refused to accept that this was a problem), or the many admiring things he has said about Trump, Erdogan, Duterte, and Kim Jong Un, among others. Similarly, the "enemy of the people" refrain is directly out of the Stalinist/Soviet school of thought.
It's not difficult to find these -- draw from them the conclusions you wish, but that he admires strong men is beyond doubt.
That's just a handful of the evidence I can think of to draw on -- in the meantime, the best you can come up appears to be one piece of totally misinterpreted satire, two times I've ignored you, and one attempt at a joke. Not a brilliant track record, to say the least.

The golf thing is relevant, by the way, because of all the times on the campaign trail that Trump loudly (and, in my opinion and not incidentally either, quite rightly!) criticised Obama for the amount of times *he* played golf. Since Trump is on track to smash Obama's record, that also makes him a hypocrite.
Bravo Jim.
I'm getting really sick of the cynical aspersions being used against posters on this site. Especially as it always seems to come up when anyone has anything negative to say about the most powerful man in the world.
Who, let's not allow ourselves to forget, has just been implicated by his own lawyer in a crime.

Returning to the story, here is what Trump said on April 21st, 2018:
//The New York Times ... are going out of their way to destroy Michael Cohen and his relationship with me in the hope that he will 'flip.' They use non-existent 'sources' and a drunk/drugged up loser who hates Michael, a fine person with a wonderful family. [i]Michael is a businessman for his own account/lawyer who I have always liked & respected.[i] Most people will flip if the Government lets them out of trouble, even if it means lying or making up stories. Sorry, I don’t see Michael doing that despite the horrible Witch Hunt and the dishonest media! //

Here is Trump today:
// If anyone is looking for a good lawyer, I would strongly suggest that you don’t retain the services of Michael Cohen! ... I feel very badly for Paul Manafort ... unlike Michael Cohen, he refused to “break” - make up stories in order to get a “deal.” Such respect for a brave man!//
Ah, well. Better luck picking your friends next time!
Interesting to see Trump sticking with Manafort so solidly, though, even to the point of putting "justice" -- as in, the verdict of a jury of US citizens, reached after four days of deliberations, that lies at the heart of the US legal system -- in inverted commas, as if he doesn't trust the verdict of the jury. I was not at all surprised by his derision of the prosecution case, but after a verdict has been reached it seems a bizarre decision.
