"I loved my previous life. I had so many things going. I like to drive. I cant drive anymore."



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

A wealthy businessman from New York, Trump assumed public office for the first time when he entered the White House on Jan. 20 after he defeated former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in an upset.

More than five months after his victory and two days shy of the 100-day mark of his presidency, the election is still on Trump’s mind. Midway through a discussion about Chinese President Xi Jinping, the president paused to hand out copies of what he said were the latest figures from the 2016 electoral map.

*****

“I like to drive,” he said. “I can’t drive any more.”

Septuagenarian skirt chasing at a new fake news network with Roger and Bill-O was the original plan, I think.

It hasn't exactly been a day at the beach -- or golf resort -- for the rest of us.

Grow up, or give up!

and that when you're president you have no privacy. What's the good of being rich if you don't have privacy?

Not that any further proof is needed, but here is one more bit of evidence that he knew nothing about what he was getting into, and iis waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too stupid for this job.
