AS his 100 days in office approaches, Donald Trump has said he didn’t know being president would be as hard as it is.

In an interview with Reuters, Mr Trump seemed to be missing his life before he became the leader of the free world.

“I loved my previous life. I had so many things going,” Mr Trump told Reuters in an interview. “This is more work than in my previous life. I thought it would be easier.”

He said there are certain things he misses now that he is president, which comes with 24-hour Secret Service protection and a bunch of things he can’t do.

“I like to drive. I can’t drive any more,” he said. “You’re really into your own little cocoon, because you have such massive protection that you really can’t go anywhere.”

The president also said he’ll attend next year’s White House Correspondents’ Dinner.

“I would come next year, absolutely,” he said when asked whether he would attend in the future after deciding to skip this year’s event in Washington this weekend because he felt he had been treated unfairly by the media.

He has said that getting Neil Gorsuch approved to the Supreme Court is one of his biggest achievements during that time.

Mr Trump has faced criticism however over his failed healthcare bill and proposed travel bans.

Mr Trump has previously admitted being taken aback by the complexity of his job.

In February, he sounded surprised by how complicated health-care laws are during his bid to repeal and replace ObamaCare.

“Now, I have to tell you, it’s an unbelievably complex subject,” he added. “Nobody knew health care could be so complicated.”(3 images)

While I, as expected, do not agree with all he's done, attacking Syria being at the forefront, this candid observation on his part is reasonable and something ordinary people say every day about new jobs they take on. Career politicians, on the other hand, would never say such a thing, being preoccupied with the lust for power and control instead.

Trump is just another loser, lost in the quagmire of Washington DC politics without hope or "being GREAT again."

I think he's definitely been overwhelmed and is perhaps in over his head. That would explain his campaign reversals. But he is smart, and may yet be able to dig his way out of the quagmire which I agree he is in, as he gets more experience. I guess we could agree he's rather "swamped" at the moment. I wouldn't say thought that Trump is beyond getting up one morning and asking himself "what the hell have I been doing?" and start decapitating those around him who have been giving him bad advice.

Maybe, maybe not. If you disagree, then how would Hillary's first 100 days have gone? No better than Trump's is what I'd say.

Hillary's earlier work as Secretary State dragged America into further ME conflicts: Syria and Egypt come to mind.

Trump is no exception. He is performing the status quo political servant based on CIA data that is largely unsupported BULLSHIT. Trump is a puppet of the state like all these other losers.
