Loser Trump Sulking in the White House. Is he even President anymore?

https://www.rawstory.com/2020/11/is-he-even-president-anymore-loser-trump-more-or-less-abandoning-his-job-to-sulk-in-the-white-house/

President Donald Trump has basically given up on doing the job that he’s hoping to hang onto through legal challenges, according to multiple reporters.

The president has been largely holed up inside the White House with no public events on his schedule and focusing on efforts to challenge his election loss to Joe Biden and punish disloyal officials.

“The administration is not talking about a coronavirus relief package at all,” Politico’s Jake Sherman told MSNBC’s “Morning Joe.” “There needs to be money to distribute this vaccine, legislation, laws in place, a mechanism to inoculate our country from this horrible virus and this administration, I wrote this in ‘Playbook’ this morning, is he even president anymore? He’s not in public, not on Capitol Hill, not doing any of the things he needs to do even from a bare bones level.”


Still think he has "learned his lesson" Susan Collins?

He bullied, did some executive orders, signed Tax Laws that he never understood. Mostly he just complained and golfed.

4. I don't expect Trump to work. That has never been his thing.

I am more upset that Maine didn’t learn its lesson from Susan Collins.

I will take a disengaged loser over an active wrecker at this point.

The less he does the better.

13. You are assuming that would be his focus if he got off his ass.

History would say otherwise. He is much more likely to be doing something petty and destructive.

Some folks still are waiting for him to be "Presidential"


Newsflash, Trump never viewed the office of President as anything other than a reality TV role. He has never once shown a single instance of being actively engaged and involved in the position. He's a lazy grifter that has always profited off of others and that is all he will ever be. So no, it's no surprise that this asshole would be acting the way he is right now. He was never a President to begin with.

B4 jan 20. Wants to make it as hard for Biden as possible so he can blame him for whatever comes out of those messes he created. Sadistic & deranged.

From selling oil rights in a wildlife refuge to removing the head of cyber security during a transition, it seems the bull is having one last run at the china shop.

I think he's regressing to his glory days on The Apprentice. From what I saw in my whole 12 minutes of watching one episode, that seemed to be the whole point of the show.

He's sitting in his room muttering 'I hate them, I hate them' over and over.
