Trump's exit from the White House was 'not an easy transition' and 'took some time to get used to,'

Former presidents typically enjoy becoming private citizens again, taking a much-needed break from the whirlwind of politics and the stress of the most powerful job in the country - but not Donald Trump, CNN reported on Wednesday.

Upon arriving at his Mar-a-Lago residence in West Palm Beach, Florida, Trump was unhappy with his newfound seclusion and it took him several weeks to adjust, one person close to the former president told CNN. The source said they had to field multiple phone calls from a disgruntled Trump during that time.

"Most people would leave the White House relieved to have the weight of the world lifted off their shoulders, but for him it was a reality that took some time to get used to," the source told CNN. "Those first few weeks, it was not an easy transition."

In his first few weeks out of office, Trump remained focused on exacting revenge against GOP members who he believed wrongfully betrayed him after the 2020 presidential election and the Capitol insurrection on January 6. His targets were the 10 House Republicans who voted for his impeachment and other lawmakers who publicly blamed him for the riot, CNN reported.

his diplomacy, or policies he worked so hard on........(not that he ever did)..........but, just about how he had to extract revenge for taking the bowl of pudding away from him...

I feel so much better not waking in the morning or after a nap and not having to worry he was still sitting on the White House toilet.
