Trump Aide Just Revealed Trump Is Bored As President, Likes To Watch TV

[progressoid]

Three days into his presidency, all indications show that as much of the nation feared, Trump is nowhere near up to the task of running this country. POLITICO reports that his aides are already trying to cure him of his “worst habits,” which include getting bored and watching television instead:

One person who frequently talks to Trump said aides have to push back privately against his worst impulses in the White House, like the news conference idea, and have to control information that may infuriate him. He gets bored and likes to watch TV, this person said, so it is important to minimize that.

This person said that a number of people close to him don’t like saying no — but that it has to be done. “You can’t do it in front of everyone,” this person said. “He’s never going to admit he’s wrong in front of everyone. You have to pull him aside and tell him why he’s wrong, and then you can get him to go along with you. These people don’t know how to get him to do what they need him to do.”

Reports also indicate that on Inauguration Day, Trump began reading negative Twitter messages about himself and grew furious at the mockery and the criticism he was receiving.

While it is well-known that the adjustment from public citizen to POTUS is a difficult one, Trump is resisting all attempts to encourage him to change his habits and not behave like an impulsive, spoilt bully who obsesses over perceived slights and is hellbent on revenge for petty squabbles.

“He can never let go and stop watching cable TV. Now he’s off to the worst start of a presidency in a very long time” says presidential historian Douglas Brinkley.

2. send him back

to Trump tower. and let him stop with his abuse towards our country and the world.

He needs mental health intervention now.

3. Apparently my mother was right

TV does rot your brain.

[Jacob Boehme]

4. Signs point to tRump having ADD among other mental health issues.

If these were just his issues, no big deal. But his issues will be our issues until he vacates the Oval Office.

11. Maybe He is Just Lazy

Even though he spent four or more years at a military school, due to his wealth and his upbringing he may have never learned discipline or self discipline. How hard has he had to work all his life. Did he ever have a real job that required him to get up early in the morning, work late at night, and not watch TV? It is very possible that Donald Trump is just continuing the habits he learned throughout his life.

5. Mark my words. Trump will spend more time over the next 4 years away from the White House

than he spends in it. Republicans who criticized President Obama's vacation time while ignoring Bush's vacation time will again put on their Sargeant Shultz helmet.

6. Those people will conveniently forget about their criticism of Obama vacations or executive orders

or wasting tax dollars on state dinners etc.

7. Political marches cleanse the soul and dispel fear!

I saw it in Austin several times, people saying they didn't fear anymore, and felt good about themselves and the future.

There is genuine therapy in direct action politics.

[Wellstone ruled]

8. Watch a change.

Mr. Obama had little if any time to waste on TV. You know being President requires certain skill sets,and the new Baby King appears to be many of these skill sets.

[Cracklin Charlie]

9. "In the White House"

It's been 3 days!

Hide the remote!

10. Huh - that's a strange take on the original story....he is ALREADY bored???

""The truth of the matter is he had a successful inauguration with a respectful crowd. The transition of power went off without a hitch. His supporters were amiable by and large," said Douglas Brinkley, a presidential historian. "But then he can never let go and stop watching cable TV. Now he's off to the worst start of a presidency in a very long time."

13. You were wrong about the successful inauguration, Mr. Brinkley.

He will look like a whirling dervish in front of the camera, but even his aides tell a different story.

[Quixote1818]

12. He is a lazy playboy who inherited a crap load of money

He never grew up because of this. He never would have amounted to anything had he not been given his wealth because everything is about fun! Building big buildings and picking out the furniture and designs and putting his name on it or owning a beauty pageant. That is all he is about period!

[yellowcanine]

14. Trump began reading negative Twitter messages about himself and grew furious at the mockery ....

The signs at the women's march must have unhinged him then. Poor baby.

[Yavin4]

15. Where's Tywin Lannister to scold Trump?

[yellowcanine]

16. Those aides are going to burn out quickly.

It is going to be a long 4 years for those folks.
