I literally don't understand this. I'm probably being thick, but why does Trump need to campaign? Isn't he president now? Isn't all the work done? Have other presidents in history campaigned so soon after being elected? I'm really asking; I don't know. It just seems odd.
Now that there are no real restrictions on the amount of money a business can contribute to a campaign you kind of do have to perpetually smooze if you want to get those hundreds of millions of dollars. As far as I know Obama pretty much did the same thing, although I don't know if he started as early.
