Trump's Big CON: He Finally Realizes He's Not Presidental Material

UPDATE II:  And The Donald is right, he's not really presidential material. Being president is not a contrived so-called reality show where it's all about winning, which is his only obsession.

But he just doesn't get it.

"More than five months after his victory and two days shy of the 100-day mark of his presidency, the election is still on Trump's mind. Midway through a discussion about Chinese President Xi Jinping, the president paused to hand out copies of what he said were the latest figures from the 2016 electoral map.

'Here, you can take that, that's the final map of the numbers,' the Republican president said from his desk in the Oval Office, handing out maps of the United States with areas he won marked in red. 'It’s pretty good, right? The red is obviously us.'

He had copies for each of the three Reuters reporters in the room."

Read Reuters, Exclusive: Trump says he thought being president would be easier than his old life.

As noted before, Trump is a psycho-narcissistic con man.

UPDATE:  "[T]his president and this Congress have not a clue how to proceed. They would potentially do much more harm than good. They are prisoners of extreme ideology, unrealistic expectations and their own incompetence.

Perhaps under another president, the center-right and center-left can make progress on key issues. For the remainder of Trump’s term, however, the best-case scenario would be no new wars or new nuclear powers and the status quo at home." [Emphasis in original]

Read the Washington Post, Here’s why, even with control of everything, the GOP cannot govern.

"Donald Trump spent a great portion of 2016 insisting that being president would be easy — at least for him. HuffPost compiled a number of examples of him dismissing the problems that accompany the job as being easily dispatched. Building a wall on the border with Mexico is easy. Beating Hillary Clinton would be easy. Renegotiating the Iran deal would be easy. Paying down the national debt would be easy. Acting presidential? Easy.

To a reporter from Reuters this week, though, Trump had a slightly different assessment of the presidency.

'I love my previous life. I had so many things going. This is more work than in my previous life,' Trump said. 'I thought it would be easier. I thought it was more of a … I’m a details-oriented person. I think you’d say that, but I do miss my old life. I like to work so that’s not a problem but this is actually more work.'

It wasn’t the first time that Trump copped to the job being trickier than he anticipated. In November, NBC News reported that Trump had told former House speaker Newt Gingrich that 'This is really a bigger job than I thought.' (Gingrich’s response? “…good. He should think that.”) Then there are individual issues. “Nobody knew health care could be so complicated,” he said at one point. At another, he revealed that it took a conversation with the president of China to realize that the situation on the Korean peninsula was 'not so easy.'"

Read the Washington Post, Trump now agrees with the majority of Americans: He wasn’t ready to be president

So far his presidency has just seemed like a joke gone bad.  But he should resign before he harms the country.

Of course, he love the fame.
