"I thought it would be easier" says Trump on being President

[Alt-Orange]

President Donald Trump told Reuters on Thursday that, as he reaches the 100 day mark of his presidency, he’s been surprised by just how difficult running the country actually is.

“I loved my previous life. I had so many things going,” Trump said. “This is more work than in my previous life. I thought it would be easier.”

This is hardly the first time Trump has expressed surprise at the difficulties of being president.

I don't have a violin small enough for this snowflake. SAD!

1. I wish he would pull a Bill-O (go on vacation) or Chaffetz (sudden need for medical attention)

and make an excuse to resign and attempt to save face. The only problem is that Pence and Ryan are equally scary.

2. You realize he thinks he's imparting new information,

of course. Sharing an insight with the ignorant from one in the know.

We've all met, probably, people who are too ignorant, and usually low cognition, to even begin to understand that not everyone shares their ignorance. But I'm especially reminded of a strange person who was, technically, not stupid but could not understand that everyone else was not completely ignorant. Constantly, irritatingly explaining things that normal 10-year-olds all understand perfectly well.

Rump isn't globally stupid, he's capable of understanding probably to a somewhat above average level when he pays attention, but most of the time he doesn't understand at all, his internal "bag of knowledge" is astonishingly empty, and his knowledge about the world constantly displayed as almost nonexistent.
