This just in: Being the leader of the free world is a lot of f-ing work. Just ask Donald J. Trump.
“I loved my previous life,” Donald said. “I had so many things going. This is more work than in my previous life. I thought it would be easier.”
That is perhaps the most honest thing #45 has said since taking office back in January.
He was speaking to Reuters about his first 100 days in office, which most people agree have been completely fruitless when it comes to accomplishments.
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
Nearly six months after the November election, Trump still can’t stop talking about his “huge” victory, in which he actually received 3 million less votes than his opponent. He even went so far as to hand his interviewers a piece of paper with figures from the 2016 electoral map, with all the states he won marked in red.
“Here, you can take that, that’s the final map of the numbers,” he said. “It’s pretty good, right? The red is obviously us.”
So what observations does The Donald have after his first 100 days? (Aside from the job being harder than he expected, that is.) Well, he says, the Secret Service detail is kind of a drag.
“You’re really into your own little cocoon, because you have such massive protection that you really can’t go anywhere,” he said.
Also, he misses driving.
“I like to drive,” he said. “I can’t drive any more.”
And he hasn’t made very many new friends at his job. In fact, he frequently has to call up his old golfing buddies and former business colleagues for “positive reinforcement.” At first, senior aides took issue with this, but according to Reuters they are now “resigned to it.”
Oh, and what about the White House Correspondents’ Dinner happening this Saturday? The one Trump refused to attend because the media treated him so “unfairly.” Evidently, he regrets turning down the invite.
“I would come next year,” Trump said when asked whether he would attend in the future. “Absolutely.”
We’ll see about that.

Oh tell the truth Donald. You know you are going to fail as president just as everyone around you does.
stevetalbert
He will end up saying he’s too good for the job and can’t be bothered. Hopefully this will happen sooner rather than later.
jckfmsincty
He thought the presidency would be easier because he didn’t understand the job position in the first place.
stevetalbert
Not only that he is so incompetent that he doesn’t know he’s incompetent…he probably thought “How hard could it be if George W Bush and a Black guy did it?”
Bob LaBlah
@stevetalbert………”a Black guy did it?”
Personally I’ve always felt that it was that jealousy that motivated him to run. I bet he wakes up every morning cursing Obama.
Mkiel
Can hardly complain he is working too much when he spends so much time playing golf. It is only his fingers doing any actual work .

Obama, more than any other “president” in history was overwhelmed by the office. He had absolutely NO IDEA what to do, so he did nothing. Nothing. He has NO qualifications going into office except his skin color. Oh sure, gays are going to point to gay marriage, but he didn’t do that. The guy did nothing. Oh yeah, he played golf. In addition his ugly mannish wife who had to shave her face in the morning eliminated the bread and butter from elementary school lunches. What a fat ass hero she was. She couldn’t do anything for disabled children because it would have attracted too much attention to her mentally deficient daughter, Sasha. You know, the one with a behavior therapist following her around tossing the human equivalent of doggie treats to the kid to keep her in line. Here’s the point. If progressives can just shoot your mouths off and say anything you want in an effort to discredit the President, then I can do the same .. say anything, anything at all to discredit the Obamas. Sure, I just made all that stuff up. But so did you.
Heywood Jablowme
“Sure, I just made all that stuff up.” Yes you did.
“But so did you.” No we didn’t.
So you’re saying the ACA (Obamacare) is “nothing? Great! That means you guys can stop even trying to repeal it. (Not that you could ever do that anyway.)
o.codone
Two words about Obamacare: Death spiral.
Bob LaBlah
Maybe you forgot who the president was that seemed to have been able to find and eliminate Bin Laden. More terrorist were killed under Obama than any other president thanks to drone strikes. Did you also forget about the world wide financial collapse that caused him to raise the national so as to keep the entire world out of depression? Honey, do your research next time. Obama did PLENTY in his first 100 days. This clown rode into office thanks to people like you who can’t remember history but have no problem being told how to recite history. Oh, and by the way, did you know the state of Texas no longer teaches history in America before the Civil War?

LaBlah smacks it out of the ballpark! Grand slam and the crowd is roaring. Look at him jog past the bases, almost stoic; very professional. MVP? There’s talk of it…prelim’ stuff. O.C. is visibly shaken as he walks off the mound. It’s been a hard season for him. The crowd is still cheering…this may be a game-changer, yeah, momentum thing.

Oh sure. Lets put a businessman who has run companies into the ground and filed multiple bankruptcies in the White House. I know someone who worked closely with Trump in the casino industry in Atlantic City. She said early on that if Trump won we were screwed and that he was only going to be out to enrich himself. I still honestly don’t think he wanted to win. He wanted to use the opportunity to build something else. With Roger Ailes on his team I really think he was going to have a sort of Trump News Network or something and then… “Oh shit I won. Now I have to be Presidentin”. Its a mess. But say what you want. He conned folks good. Got to give it up to him. This was the best grift in history.

One word about O.Codone – deluded. There is nothing made up about Trump – the evidence is is his speeches, his nepotism, his absurd and never ending tweets and his ridiculous number of Executive Orders. Please tell us what has been ‘made up’. As an American living in Europe for the moment I see every day the newspaper comments on trump and how he is ridiculed the world over for his incompetence and his, at best, unwise family involvement in government. This is not a man who is respected and loved. He is seen as the worst American ‘President’ for a very long time – an incompetent, and self-enriching individual who promotes hate and fear for minority groups. And yes it does matter what other countries think of our leader. But even putting that aside – everything that trump is accused of can be proved using his own words and behaviour. The man can barely string a coherent sentence together on policy issues – the best he can come up with is ‘lock her up’ or ‘build that wall’. His latest tweet on North Korea could have been composed by a 10 year old. And that is the man you compare to the internationally loved and respected Nobel Prize winning former President? The Obamas have more class and intelligence in their little fingers than the whole of the trump /kushner family put together. Lest we forget – kushners father was also a convicted corrupt businessman. Birds of a feather…..

I don’t worry about President Obama’s reputation. It is granite. The details peel away. Remaining is the sense of dignity and quiet power imbued by our president, and how rotten Republicans were to him. Imagine how much stronger our nation may have been, were he to have had cooperation. The GOP didn’t want President Obama to look good. They still don’t. Too bad. The GOP is looking bad and worse, as each month of this disastrous administration bumbles on. The night before Mr. Obama’s inauguration, he attended a dinner honoring John McCain. The day of, Republicans met in the evening to plan how to undermine him. “One-term president,” turtle chirped. Republicans have done irreparable damage to their reputations. Some who voted for the con man are angry and scared and feeling duped by antics L’Orange. That promulgation of GoldmanSacksters stampeding through the Trump Administration is telling. Hello, Judge Gorsuch. Goodbye, unions. Labor never hurt so badly. More ladies will be saying this, as well…well.

“His latest tweet on North Korea could have been composed by a 10 year old. ”
Isn’t it sad to think that his North Korean tweets sound more like the pot calling the kettle black than a president of a nuclear armed nation addressing another one with the same capability? On the world stage we have two little spoiled kids who were never in a schoolyard fight when they were kids more or less tweeting at will how one will destroy the other and screw collateral damage, us. Counting how many missiles and live fire drills this week alone I count no less than five punches throw by ol”pie face and that ol’ rug head is still too stupid to realize he is getting his ass kicked each time his mouth opens no matter what he says.
If you factor in the Philippines Duterte (or whatever the hell his name is) and South Korea’s inability to find a clean president to run the country its hard to argue against that Asia is just as unstable as the Middle East.
