What Trump Finds Most Surprising About Being President And What He Misses Most

President Donald Trump will pass a mark in his presidency on Saturday — the end of his first 100 days. In an interview with Reuters, the president spoke about the things he misses most and the things that have surprised him.

What he misses? Trump actually misses being able to drive himself, something he can no longer do as president.

“I like to drive,” he said. “I can’t drive any more.”

He also discussed the lack of privacy he has as president, which he noted is less than he had before in his “old life.” Trump, as well all know, was a famous businessman regularly in the spotlight over the years, most recently via a successful reality television show.

From Reuters:

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.

What has surprised him? Trump, an extremely successful New York businessman prior to being elected President of the United States, found the workload surprising.

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

What hasn’t changed? Reuters reported:

Many things about Trump have not changed from the wheeler-dealer executive and former celebrity reality show host who ran his empire from the 26th floor of Trump Tower in New York and worked the phones incessantly.

He frequently turns to outside friends and former business colleagues for advice and positive reinforcement. Senior aides say they are resigned to it.

What this means. After Saturday, we won’t have to hear about the “first 100 days,” anymore, which will be nice.
