Trump hates the job of being President

[liberalmediaaddict]

Trump only wants the title of President of the United States not to have to actually do the job.

He was happiest during the transition when he won the popular vote, no longer had to worry about going to jail and had billionaires like Bezos, Zuckerberg and Musk kissing his butt.

He loves the prestige of being POTUS, the adulation, money and honestly does want to stay in office the rest of life. That's why he fears the 2 term limit and is already trying to change it. He fears boredom, irrelevance and accountability for his criminal life.

But as far as doing the job of chief executive of the federal government, he hates it. He's lazy, hates reading and has never worked an honest day in his life.

His response to the plane crash in DC is a glaring reminder of the fact he hates the public service part of working in government. But his voters want the country to be run like a business. And they expect the bankruptcy king who was convicted for tax fraud to lead us there. To quote the orange idiot himself that's, "Not good."

1. I suspect he actually loves it. Attention every day, richer than he has ever been in his life, wields real power,

can do anything he wants with no fear of repercussions, is able to make people jump when he says jump.

No he loves being President. The American people ---not so much.

[leftieNanner]

2. He loves BEING President

But has no interest in the actual work of the job.

30. Mr dump doesn't like working, period....

Golf and being boss is his forte.

[allegorical oracle]

35. Yep. He's a lazy cuss who's been waited on for most of his life. If people distill what he's done

in his life, it's a list of fast-talking lies, swindling, and self-serving lawsuits. Basically, he has no talents whatsoever.

[ananda]

7. Yes, he loves BEING president, but NOT actually doing the job.

He hates the job.

That's why he's passing everything off to Musk, Miller,
and other billionaires and Trumpers.

However, when disaster strikes, he has to be a public
face, and that ALWAYS goes bad!

[walkingman]

22. Agree, I think he learned that in his business life - delegate everything and when it goes wrong

you cannot be held personally responsible. The problem being that unless he reads on script he sounds like he belongs in a mental ward.

[Mr.Bee]

19. Actually it's not the 'president'

It's the PRECEDENT. He sets the precedent, and others will follow.

[Tommy Carcetti]

3. He wants to be Emperor, not President.

He wants to govern by fiat.

None of those pesky checks and balances.

None of those annoying responsibilities.

He wants to mandate what he thinks without any regards to the Constitution or idea that he’s actually working in the interests of the people.

And he wants to be worshiped as great and powerful.

4. TBH, most POTUS just delegate all the work...

Exceptions being Obama and Clinton who actually DID read a lot and study legislation and planning.

[MLWR]

14. Most POTUSs appoint experienced, knowledgeable, qualified, competent cabinets

who can actually do the work that POTUS delegates to them. The Orange One has a cabinet of unqualified, inexperienced, incompetent Know-Nothings.

[WarGamer]

15. 99% of the "work" in gov't is done by mid level folks.

Literally ZERO SEC of Defense are calling up Raytheon and asking where the order is that was due last week and asking about the accounting error.

Which i sprecisely WHY it's STUPID for Trump to slash the workforce because that's who do the work.

20. Harry Truman

Harry Truman read extensively. He read more than most, which was extensive, to make up for his lack of formal education. He was our last president without a college degree. Even at that, he was probably better educated than some that have college degrees in today's world.

[niyad]

23. A slap at Biden?

[RainCaster]

5. He loves being our Grifter In Chief

He wanted this job, and now he's got it. The lives lost here are insignificant so far- he lost close to a million in the last pandemic. Whoever is tracking his "days golfing" needs to start tracking how many lives he's lost. Start with these.

[Irish_Dem]

6. He loves the money he is making with his scams and schemes.

And he loves the power to be cruel and get revenge.

[Beachnutt]

8. He had to run and win to stay out of jail

he is a habitual criminal.

[Skittles]

9. which makes it all the more astounding ANYONE voted for him

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[J-9]

10. He hates Americans. nt

[Seinan Sensei]

12. Poser

It’s all cosplay for him

[aggiesal]

13. Mierda47 is the GQP MOB Boss. And the GQP is an Organized Criminal Syndicate. n/t

[LSparkle]

16. Figurehead ... that's all he cares to be

Just thought of Sex Pistols “God Save The Queen” that uses that word. (“And our figurehead is not as she seems ... “)

[pfitz59]

17. A reporter pressed him on getting ahead of the facts

Trump insulted the reporter. Typical Trump.

[A HERETIC I AM]

18. Huh. Seems I read this somewhere before.

OH! Yeah, I remember.

Over 4 and a half years ago;

You are correct, he absolutely loves BEING president, he just hates doing the job, not to mention is incapable of doing it in a way most Americans perceive it should be done, i.e. competently.

[NoMoreRepugs]

21. The goal is to have the U.S. Treasury totally legitimize crypto

so he can rocket up the list of BILLIONAIRES - NOTHING ELSE MATTERS.

[GoodRaisin]

24. You nailed him.

Dick Tater never planned to leave the White House once he was in it. He tried his best to stay the first time and his plan is to do it again.

[kimbutgar]

25. It's already 10 days and it's feels like a American horror story.

And the dawn of the death of America. Blaming the previous administration and the most effective department of transportation secretary Buttigieg while he fired all these professional federal aviation regulators and administrators last week is the height of hypocrisy!

I couldn’t not hate him more and wish a karmic payback to him sooner rather than later.

[Kid Berwyn]

26. Unstable moron hates work period. Traitor's never worked a day in his miserable life.

It's in his NAZI blood.

[Aussie105]

27. You mean he is a fake leader?

Gosh!

Who would have thought?

Actually, anyone with half a brain who watched a single episode of The Apprentice years ago.

It's going to get messy.
A 'leader' who doesn't want to do the work part of the job, delegating to those incapable of doing it properly.

[Martin Eden]

28. Trump loves influcting cruelty on people he hates.

Presidential power gives him the means to do more of what he loves.

[patphil]

29. Not POTUS, atually POSUS.

[Dem4life1234]

31. He's very lazy

Imagine if this was a nonwhite or woman with half the drama?

If only he was a do nothing president. I would rather have a do nothing president than one who is so eager to start destruction.

He's lazy but destructive.

[uponit7771]

32. He loves the attention though

[autorank]

33. Corret but HE HATES THE WORLD

AND EVERYONE IN IT.e

Yes, he's a narcissist. Yes, he's a sociopath (Antisocial personality Disorder). But it's much worse and far deeper.

The man hates everything and everyone. He wants to blow it all up.

34. So true

and he makes it so obvious
