7 Reasons Why Trump Would Hate Being President
He couldn’t fire people every day—and he’d actually have to master the details. Boring!
Donald Trump will be in for the shock of his life when he realizes starting January 20, 2017 just how much harder – and different – running a government is from running a private business. The Republican nominee will hate the presidency, so much so that even if he won the White House, he would be sorely tempted to quit before his term even ends.
1. You’re (never) fired.
.. he’ll need the help of thousands of civil servants to do the work–people protected by federal employee union rules and regulations that are not accountable to any administration.
.. Equally difficult will be hiring people.
2. Congress will drive him insane.
3. He’ll be investigated to death.
4. The judges will relentlessly question his executive orders.
5. The boredom factor.
There’s no such thing as a selective presidency that only focuses on the fun parts of “making America great again.” Trump would be required to deal with thousands of things that he simply doesn’t care about.
.. The media, which Trump unabashedly despises, will be working down the hall in the White House press room and traveling with him everywhere he goes and questioning everything he does. For four straight years and without relief, they will be relentless in their examination. Internal leaks, tell-all books, off the record sourcing, the 24-hour Internet cycle – all of these will poke holes in a Trump administration from the beginning. Trump can’t tweet his way around the myriad things the press will dig into, including his family’s activities, his marriage, and his children’s private lives.
.. Deep down, he probably knows he doesn’t want that. For the first time in his life, Donald Trump might truly be hoping to lose.
