Trump: Being President is Kinda Hard

  • 1 Comments
  • by: Colorado Pols
The actual President of the United States. Still.

Terrifyingly hilarious.

That’s the best phrase we could come up with to explain a flurry of stories circulating this afternoon relating to Donald Trump’s ongoing realization that being President is actually a fairly difficult job. First, from CNN:

If Donald Trump has learned any big lesson in his 84 days as President, it’s this: The job is way harder than it looks.

In an interview with The Wall Street Journal released Wednesday night, Trump admitted that he had underestimated the complexities of the relationship between China and North Korea. He learned from Chinese President Xi Jinping, Trump explained, that China simply can’t eliminate North Korea’s nuclear capabilities.

“After listening for 10 minutes, I realized it’s not so easy,” Trump said. “I felt pretty strongly that they had a tremendous power (over) North Korea. … But it’s not what you would think.”

Elsewhere, the Washington Post has compiled a list of 8 things that have surprised Trump about being President, including 1) The North Korea situation is ‘not so easy,’ 2) Health care is complicated, and 3) You can’t actually run government like a business.

There’s probably a moral to this story somewhere. We’ll let you know when we find it.

One thought on “Trump: Being President is Kinda Hard

  1. 5+ months since Election Day. Nearly 3 months since Inauguration. And according to the Washington Post, there are some surprises.

    Not yet mentioned, but worth noting:  Trump can't even get his Sad!_ministration fully staffed.  As of earlier today:

    554   key positions requiring Senate confirmation …

    475  No nominee

      33   Awaiting nomination

     24   Formally nominated

     22   Confirmed
