Trump whines: NO Trump-branded beds, NO $54 dry-aged well-done steaks, overseas trip TOO LONG!

FROM RAW STORY:

He's set to embark on his first official trip overseas Friday with pit stops in Saudi Arabia, Israel, Belgium, Italy and the Vatican—something he's reportedly pouting about, huffing and puffing that the nine-day excursion is far too long. Worse yet: none of the places he's visiting have a Trump-branded hotel with workers that are duty-bound and practiced at serving him his favorite meals.

-He likes his $54 dry-aged steak charred into beef bricks so well-done they clank and rattle the plate. A healthy slather of ketchup serves as the finishing touch.



FROM NYT:

He doesn’t really want to go.

In recent days, Mr. Trump has groused to several friends that he is not looking forward to leaving his new White House cocoon for high-profile, high-pressure meetings with dozens of world leaders in unfamiliar settings.

At one point, he barked at an aide that he thought his first tour abroad should be only about half as long. He will have to abandon his well-known preference for sleeping in his own bed (or in one at the hotels or golf resorts he owns) as he hops between Saudi Arabia, Israel, Belgium, Italy and the Vatican — all places without a Trump-branded property.

1. What could possibly go wrong?

[Autumn]

2. A lot. I hope.

3. His hair, he won't have his secret hair man with him

[MineralMan]

4. Ivanka will take care of his hair for him.

She knows just what to do to make it look like he wants.

[Ilsa]

5. Spoiled brat had the nerve to claim Hilary

wasn't tough enough, strong enough, for the job, and she's flown all over the world, and not in the comfort of AF1.

6. By Day 88 of his presidency, Barack Obama had already traveled

to Canada, England, France, Germany, the Czech Republic, Turkey, Iraq, Mexico, and Trinidad. I don't recall any whining or pouting.

9. Of course not

President Obama is a man of class and distinction. I miss him so much.

7. Wow, he really is the undisputed king of the snowflakes!

8. GOOD NEWS for President Trump's trip....

If he can sneak out at night, there are 20 KFC's in Riyadh.

10. All I have to say to him

Suck it up buttercup. Cry me a river, build a bridge and get the fuck over it.

11. Saw a companion piece

I don't think it was in the Times, but I saw a piece a day or two ago. The reporter was talking with an aide from either W.'s or Obama's administration, who said these multi-country jaunts were just the worst. Everyone would have their daily rhythms disrupted, you'd be dog-tired in the middle of the day, wide awake at night. Strange places, uncomfortable beds, odd-hour meetings, and public appearances meant that everyone had to be on his or her toes all the time to make sure there were not fuck-ups.

The chances of President Trump creating an international incident? Pretty much 1 out of 1.

12. My brain is forever seared w/that image!! He is the grossest prez we've had since Nixon and Dick

could at least eat food in public without looking that grotesque (he also knew foreign policy and etiquette). Ugh.

[Initech]

13. Good lord, just the thought of those steaks...

[central scrutinizer]

16. Looks like pork ribs (definitely not kosher or halal)

That should go over well in Israel or Saudi Arabia

[suffragette]

14. Makes me think of "The Accidental Tourist," with it's guidebook featuring how to find

The same restaurants and hotels, etc, so that you never have to encounter anything unfamiliar.

It's such a fearful place to exist, lacking curiosity and any sense of wonder or exploration, bound to only the same sights, tastes and experiences, again and again and again.

15. Wasn't Hillary the one who was supposed to lack the stamina to do the job?
