Trump doesn't want to stay in the White House full time—or stop holding his rallies

"Even more telling is what Trump wants to do as president. He wants to do the only part of the campaign he found fun: Yelling angry things at angry crowds: His aides say he has also expressed interest in continuing to hold the large rallies that were a staple of his candidacy. He likes the instant gratification and adulation that the cheering crowds provide, and his aides are discussing how they might accommodate his demand. “I think Trump has discovered that these rallies are tremendous opportunities for him to get his message out,” said Christopher Ruddy, chief executive of Newsmax Media, a conservative website. “It’s actually sort of old-fashioned, that you want to actually meet people and press the flesh with him.” Translation: The ultra-narcissistic Trump is so addicted to "instant gratification" that he can't bear the thought of sitting in a room signing papers when he could be sitting in front of a microphone raiing against each particular week's list of people that have Wronged Him."
