Trump thought being president would be easier than his old life

Donald Trump thought that being President of the United States would be easier than hosting a reality show and beauty pageants, and developing real estate.

And he still looks at the 2016 electoral map every day. (Remind you of anyone? )




Trump says he thought being president would be easier than his old life

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - He misses driving, feels as if he is in a cocoon, and is surprised how hard his new job is.President Donald Trump on Thursday reflected on his first 100 days in office with a wistful look at his life before the White House."I loved my previous life. I had so many things going," Trump told Reuters in an interview. "This is more work than in my previous life. I thought it would be easier."A wealthy businessman from New York, Trump assumed public office for the first time when he entered the White House on Jan. 20 after he defeated former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in an upset.

More than five months after his victory and two days shy of the 100-day mark of his presidency, the election is still on Trump's mind. Midway through a discussion about Chinese President Xi Jinping, the president paused to hand out copies of what he said were the latest figures from the 2016 electoral map."Here, you can take that, that's the final map of the numbers," the Republican president said from his desk in the Oval Office, handing out maps of the United States with areas he won marked in red. "It’s pretty good, right? The red is obviously us."

We live in a time in which decent and otherwise sensible people are surrendering too easily to the hectoring of morons or extremists.

First indication that the president himself is coming to the realization that he's beginning to understand that his qualifications for becoming an effective leader are lacking.

Trump went off on the media again last night.
And his brainless fans went wild.
I have a news flash for you, Don:
When you lie, when you flip on campaign promises, when you say or do something stupid, the press is going to report it.
Every time.

Grow up!
