Trump is mad being president 'isn't as fun as it should be'

[left-of-center2012]

Donald Trump has been increasingly frustrated by the lack of “fun” he has as president — and with the people who work for him that are unable to sell his policies.

Vanity Fair‘s Gabriel Sherman revealed that not only was Trump warned privately that his family separation policy would be political suicide, but that the failure of his hardline political stance turned the president’s mood foul.

House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-WI) and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) both privately told the president that he would “go down big” on the policy (his family separation policy), a Republican briefed on the conversations told Sherman. As backlash against the family separations reached a fever pitch, Trump blinked and signed an executive order reversing it — but not without grumbling about it to those around him.

“He was very unhappy,” a Republican who spoke with Trump said. “He was perturbed the immigration issue had gotten out of hand. He’s feeling that being president isn’t as fun as it should be. He thinks he’s not getting the credit he deserves about the economy and North Korea. He said, ‘These people around me don’t know how to sell.’”

His frustration with the fallout from the policy and the North Korea summit are “why he’s going bananas on Twitter,” the Republican told Vanity Fair.

1. Womp womp.

2. Thought so, from the get go.

Waiting for him to jump off (unless We the People do it for him.)

[Grassy Knoll]

3. Fake Presidents Need A Lot Of Help To Sell Bullshit...

...Volunteers Are Hard To Come By, So Sad This Prick
Has So Little Help, Other Than RUDE-E.

[LuckyCharms]

4. Hey Donny! If you want to have some fun, instead of being president...

go jerk off, you fucking asshole.

[edbermac]

5. As the Talking Heads once sang...

This ain't no party, this ain't no disco
This ain't no fooling around
No time for dancing, or lovey dovey
I ain't got time for that now

[Grassy Knoll]

12. Yes..

...Cons Are Lazy, Wants Fox News To Do The Heavy Lifting, So They Do, Willfulling.

6. Where Did He Get the Idea That Being President Was Fun?

Did he enact the vicious and disastrous family separation for kicks? Why does he think he deserves credit for North Korea and the economy? He didn't do a damned thing on either one. Who the hell thinks that sales is the top priority of working in government?

That guy is a turd. An orange turd.

13. Answers to your questions

1. Where Did He Get the Idea That Being President Was Fun? Putin sold him on the idea, said he could make a bundle.

2. Did he enact the vicious and disastrous family separation for kicks? No. He enacted it because he thought everyone would love him being tough on immigrants. It backfired horribly because he didn't realize only maybe 15% of the country is as heartless as he is.

3. Why does he think he deserves credit for North Korea and the economy? He literally has a diseased mind. He lives only in the moment and pays zero attention to consequences. When this shit is brought up two weeks later, all he can remember is how great a negotiator he was at the time. It's useless trying to convince him otherwise because he truly believes he can make no mistakes.

4. Who the hell thinks that sales is the top priority of working in government? Simple answer: the deplorables. They were conned into believing that since he knows business he would make a good president. The feedback from his base reinforced the Rump's notion that he actually would make a good president. It's why he keeps doing the same shit over and over while expecting a different result.

18. Nice Post

Total agreement on those answers!

[NewJeffCT]

38. In regards to item 3

Trump promotes himself as knowing business, but the reality is that he knows how to get money and cheat investors and the little guy out of the money. He doesn't really know business.

One of those farmers in the midwest that was hammered by the Trump tariffs said that while he was hurt, he was still supporting Trump because he's a great businessman and must know what he's doing...

[ProudLib72]

39. That might be number four. 3 and 4 kind of go together

He's a con man who sells himself as the greatest businessman ever. What I was trying to say in my response was that he sold that image to the nation and several million people bought it. It was all based on his own bullshit "resume" that included his completely fabricated net worth. But you see, I think that he survives on the positive response he receives. So he initiates the bullshit. People buy it and praise him. This bolsters his self image and encourages him to sell more bullshit. The cycle continues so long as there are very dumb people who will believe he is something wonderful.

[Dave Starsky]

25. He thought being President was like being King.

Not an actual king, but a king from one of those storybooks someone must have read to him a long time ago. One of those fat guys who sits around all day on a throne and eats turkey legs and tells everyone what to do.

[SCantiGOP]

7. I feel his pain

No, I really do. He has totally screwed up my country.

[Blaukraut]

8. I'm not having fun with him as president, either n/t

[DesertRat]

9. Poor little Donnie

He was king in his gilded tower - but on the world's biggest stage he has shriveled and is now the butt of jokes worldwide.

[underpants]

32. and he's become a pariah. He loves being around Hollywood types

and getting anywhere near him is professional suicide (aside from golfers) in terms of public opinion. I've read he just loved hob knobbing with celebrities but those days are gone for good.

[sheshe2]

10. Poor little buttercup.

[C_U_L8R]

11. Next time he goes golfing (like any day now)

Maybe he should just stay there.
The whole world would be happier.

[msongs]

14. it's not knowing how to sell, it's knowing how to deliver nt

[GreenPartyVoter]

35. Con artists only sell, though.

[BlueStater]

15. You're free to resign and go back to your tacky tower at any time, you whiny little prick. n/t

[Totally Tunsie]

16. BUT, tRump was right today!

He said "The whole world is laughing at us."

Yes, Donny, the whole world IS laughing at us, and you're the reason why. They're not laughing because of our immigration policies. They're laughing because you're an asshole and an embarrassment on the world stage.

Actually, Donny, perhaps it's more correct to say that the whole world is laughing at YOU. Finally something you can take credit for.

[OKNancy]

17. It's not fun for us either

You creepy ignorant buffoon

[Achilleaze]

19. Whiney republican Draft-dodger-in-chief needs to shut his pie hole

and so some work, instead of squandering taxpayer money on the freaking luxury golf course.

[lindysalsagal]

20. ...so this time, it's NOT Obama or HRC's fault??? Really???

Because there are tons of photos of Obama having fun at the white house.

[workinclasszero]

21. The bastard just wanted to have fun kidnapping Hispanic children from their parents

and locking them up in cages with child molesters!

Trump is the most evil POS that ever set foot in the White House that's for dams sure!

[oasis]

22. Should the subject of North Korea arise, Trump needs to bury his head

in shame. half baked diplomacy.

[Roland99]

23. Foxnews: North Korea possibly constructing new intercontinental ballistic missiles

24. Donald Trump is fake.

He doesn't know what he's supposed to be doing, and has only a passing familiarity with what his Administration is doing. He thought that bossing a lot more people around would be more fun, but his incompetence and malice are just on display for millions more to see.

[Dirty Socialist]

26. He should play more golf then

He will do less damage playing on the links

[DeminPennswoods]

27. Isn't resigning an option?

nt

[MrScorpio]

28. He's getting so much attention that one would think he's loving it

After all, he said that only he can fix whatever is wrong

[whathehell]

29. It would be funny if it weren't so tragic..

He's like a baby in a playpen..It's terrifying.

[Crutchez_CuiBono]

30. Typical sales manager mentality.

Pres. Obama made it look easy bc he cared intensely about all of us, and it showed. I could give 2 shits if dt isn't having fun. Neither are we. So unnecessary. Being a sell-out has it's downfalls.

[oberliner]

31. Thank you for posting the Vanity Fair article that Raw Story plagiarized

I would love for someone to explain how Raw Story can give Noor Al-Sibai the byline for their story which is completely lifted from the Vanity Fair article written by Gabriel Sherman. What part of the story did Noor Al-Sibai write?

[spanone]

33. Then RESIGN

[Mc Mike]

34. 'T Rump Blubbers.'

He's going bananas on twitter because all his decades of criminal acts are catching up to him. So the anonymous repug is full of it.

[meow2u3]

36. Trump never considered this life lesson

"The bigger they are, the harder they fall."

His life of crime is about to catch up with him and his fall will be as spectular as his rise to the White House. It's only a matter of time and nothing he or his accomplices can do to save him.
