Cry me a river! TPM "Report: Trump Complains Negative Press Means He Can't 'Enjoy' White House"

http://talkingpointsmemo.com/livewire/trump-negative-press-means-he-cant-enjoy-white-house

By ESME CRIBB Published JANUARY 24, 2017, 6:56 PM EDT

President Donald Trump thinks that unfavorable media coverage of his first weekend in office has not allowed him to "enjoy" the White House, according to a Tuesday report by the Associated Press.

Trump believed that the media would cover him more favorably after he was inaugurated, according to an Associated Press report citing two anonymous sources close to the President, but instead believes it has worsened.

The President said that the negative press has not allowed him to "enjoy" the White House on his first weekend in office, according to an anonymous source who spoke with him also cited in the report.

Trump's administration faced a rocky weekend of media coverage on its first weekend in the White House.

Thousands of marchers attended protests on Saturday along the National Mall in Washington, D.C., as well as in hundreds of other cities across the United States and around the world, many carrying anti-Trump signs. And an official estimate from D.C. Metro authority showed that the transit system had its second-busiest day ever on the day of the Women's March on Washington, far surpassing its ridership on the day of Trump's inauguration.

4. Start actually doing something for average citizens instead of corporations, big banks, and Putin, which means universal healthcare, protecting and expanding Social Security, protecting Medicare and Medicaid.
5. Start actually listening for a change because you actually don't know shit.
6. Start attending briefings.
7. Start learning humility.

"Listen up, you repulsive orange lump of ego and rage, the White House isn't for you to "enjoy." You signed up for what's probably the most difficult, demanding and stressful job in the world. It's work. People will disagree with you. They will oppose you. And, guess what, there are millions of people out there who do not like you at all. You wanted to be president because your monstrous ego demanded that you "win" but you haven't a clue what you just won. You wanted to become the president so you can strut around like some tin-pot dictator but you don't want to do the work. You don't want to accept the responsibility and the criticism and the opposition that will come with it. Too fucking bad. You got what you thought you wanted but it isn't going to be fun. It's not supposed to be fun. Get used to it or get your ugly ass off that chair in the Oval Office and go back to your baroque whorehouse of a penthouse in New York. The fact that you're sitting in that chair at all is an insult to the last 44 presidents, all of whom, even the worst ones, at least took the job seriously and weren't there to enjoy themselves. God, you really, really suck."
