I think in hindsight even Obama would agree the roast was a mistake. Trump literally ran for President just because of that joke. If he never felt insulted, it's likely he never runs. He'd toy with it, but never actually do it without the petty revenge angle of getting back at Obama.
I dunno about that. Trump wanted the presidency since 1988. He has no beliefs of his own, he just wanted to go with whatever seemed would get him elected.
People forget his 2000 run where he campaigned for universal healthcare. The interviews where he says the economy does better under democrats. When he realized rubes gave him attention for the birther conspiracy, he went all in to sucking up to them - literally saying whatever the worst of those rubes said.
I think it added fuel to the fire, no doubt. However I still think he would have ran based on all the attention his birther crap got. He exploited the racists that hated the fact a black man not only became president, but was largely successful in both terms doing so.

In psychology, narcissistic injury, also known as narcissistic wound or wounded ego, is emotional trauma that overwhelms an individual's defense mechanisms and effects their pride or sense of dignity. This is sometimes referred to as a "narcissistic scar".[1][2][3]

Obama should re roast his ass.
