I was going to give Trump a break this week. I didn’t want to think about him today. Why? Because today is the one-year birthday of my first grandson, Anthony Jack or simply A.J. You don’t usually give gifts to yourself on someone else’s birthday, but I felt like giving myself a little treat: no Trump.
And then he said this:
In an interview with Reuters, Trump decried the lack of privacy in his new role, stating that he was used to having little privacy in his old life, but this one was much worse. He also detests the constant Secret Service monitoring, declaring “You’re really into your own little cocoon because you have such massive protection that you really can’t go anywhere.” He misses being able to drive himself, misses so much about his old life.
But the real kicker was this:
“This is more work than in my previous life. I thought it would be easier.”
Oh my God. Oh my freaking God.
How in the hëll can any grown man, much less the POTUS, be this astoundingly stupid? Everyone with the slightest amount of brains knows that being the president is one of the hardest jobs in the entire world, with the only harder one being a bank guard in Alaska (everyone is wearing ski masks.) Easier? How can he never have looked at pictures of his predecessors? Hëll, his predecessor: Obama aged twenty years over the last eight. Did Trump think that Obama just hit a rough patch? A job that ages men the way this one does can’t in any way, shape or form be considered easier than pretty much any other job anywhere, ever. We are forced to the unavoidable conclusion that Donald Trump is quite simply the most stupid man ever to hold this office. Ever. He makes W. look like a member of Mensa.
Easier. Jesus Christ.
You know what? Here’s a picture of A.J. to make us all feel better.

So adorable and cute! And looks to be more mature and competent than the current POTUS.
Happy Birthday, A.J.!
You should have used that photo as a stretch goal for your fundraiser!
Now that is an encouraging and cheerful post! Oh, wait, was there something about Trump????
If it ages people 20 years over 8, he might not live out his first term.
One can hope.
Thanks for the great picture, to soften the blow that Trump didn’t realize the job he fought for for months would actually be hard.
Happy birthday, young happyling!
As for the Citrusident, I thought the “wasn’t prepared” riff was equally ill-planned.
Happy Birthday, AJ!
Happy Birthday A.J.!!
So, this so-called President didn’t think he would have to work so hard … and this is INCLUSIVE of all the golfing has been playing.
Indicative of/in his tax records?
AwwwwwwwAJ, AwwwwwwwAJ!
No please, do not publish children photos on the net. He is lovely but the woods is full of orcs.
He’s beautiful. Thanks for posting.
AJ is so adorable. And Trump has officially beat out Sean Spicer for the “Dumb Úš” of the year award.
Year’s not over yet. I expect the title to go back and forth many times.
“Trump decried the lack of privacy in his new role, stating that he was used to having little privacy in his old life, but this one was much worse.”

Runner-up? Lady Di who couldn’t believe how much scrutiny she was coming under just because she’d married the future king of England. How can anyone raised in England not be aware of how media-haunted the royals are?
And that was 30 years ago. Can you imagine it today?
I recently bought the soundtrack of Elena of Avalor (don’t judge, I like this show), and there’s a song Trump should have listened to and heard the lesson of before throwing his hat in the electoral race : “Ready to Rule”. You can find it here :

I like that show, too! And you’re absolutely right about the song.
Please, post more photos of your grandchildren, because this :
