(37,648 posts)Did he not realize what the job would entail? Most politically minded people have a sense of what the job requires, I think. Your time is not your own, your days are scheduled by others, the press criticizes you daily, other politicians criticize you daily, vacations are criticized, the cost of everything you do is scrutinized because it's on the taxpayer's dime, your spouse is lonely, you get calls around the clock, there are emergencies all over the world that you need to know about or take action on, you have to deal with the complex economy, and so on.
This is a man who has not really worked much of his life (in the sense that most people work). His time has been his own, the cost didn't matter since he was rich and paying for it (tax deductible, too! If he paid taxes, which he doesn't), can take off any time he likes and go golfing or to his other houses, living in grand style in gilded mansions.
I've noticed he has aged already, and it's only been 3 weeks. He's pretty old, too.
