Former Trump exec says the president cares 'less about his job now than he did' running his company

snip of article:

When Donald Trump was campaigning for president in 2016, he characterized President Barack Obama as someone who was spending way too much time on the golf course and not enough time at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. If he won the election, Trump insisted, he would be too busy running the country to play golf. But according to former Trump Organization exec Barbara Res — who was interviewed for a Los Angeles Times report by Eli Stokols and Chris Megerian — Trump isn’t even working as hard at his current job as he worked in the past.

Res worked closely with Trump in the 1980s and 1990s, when she managed construction projects for him. And Res told the Times, “He’s working less. He seems to care less about his job now than he did back when I was working for him. Maybe it’s because he has more confidence or a greater sense of power sitting in the Oval Office. He thinks he can say and do anything now — or not do anything.”


We need to throw his ass out, spoiled bastard that he is. Gloat and lies all he wants his ass will be out.

(that depends on the Republicans passing tax cuts, or people paying his companies for 'services'), so it's all about his ego - rallies, 'ceremonies' where he can wave his signature around, shouted moments outside a helicopter where he can choose to ignore questions, and gets to shout without people saying he's out of control ... and now, show and tell sessions that'd shame a 7 year old with their transparent lies.
