He wants to be President in name only, which is what he's almost certainly going to be. Pence is the man who will be running the policy given the early information we've seen.
I wonder how he is going to handle having to live as anonymously as possible. This is a guy who loves the spot light, but even if he is president in title only, he will still be under constant security and scrutiny. The president loses a lot of personal autonomy. You can't just travel and do whatever you want.

Honestly, I can see why a lot of decent politicians never make a run for it. You are on the clock 24/7. And at least half the country is going to hate you.
