Donald Trump has been increasingly frustrated by the lack of fun he has as president and with the people who work for him that are unable to sell his policies.
Vanity Fairs Gabriel Sherman revealed that not only was Trump warned privately that his family separation policy would be political suicide, but that the failure of his hardline political stance turned the presidents mood foul.
House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-WI) and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) both privately told the president that he would go down big on the policy (his family separation policy), a Republican briefed on the conversations told Sherman. As backlash against the family separations reached a fever pitch, Trump blinked and signed an executive order reversing it but not without grumbling about it to those around him.
He was very unhappy, a Republican who spoke with Trump said. He was perturbed the immigration issue had gotten out of hand. Hes feeling that being president isnt as fun as it should be. He thinks hes not getting the credit he deserves about the economy and North Korea. He said, These people around me dont know how to sell.
His frustration with the fallout from the policy and the North Korea summit are why hes going bananas on Twitter, the Republican told Vanity Fair.
