US President Donald Trump thought job ‘would be easier’, by AFP.
He misses driving, feels as if he is in a cocoon and is surprised at how hard his new job is.
President Donald Trump yesterday reflected on his first 100 days in office with a wistful look at his life in business and televisions before the White House.
“I loved my previous life. I had so many things going,” he told Reuters in an interview. “This is more work than in my previous life. I thought it would be easier.” …
Mr Trump, who said he was accustomed to not having privacy in his “old life”, expressed surprise at how little he had now. And he made clear he was still getting used to having 24-hour Secret Service protection and its accompanying constraints.
“You’re really into your own little cocoon, because you have such massive protection that you really can’t go anywhere,” he said.
When the President leaves the White House, it is usually in a limousine or an SUV. He said he missed being behind the wheel himself.
“I like to drive,” he said. “I can’t drive any more.”
