UPDATE: I was so annoyed by Agent Orange that I forgot to mention that this rant is not about me as the millions of Americans who WORK themselves into exhaustion before we even get home to take care of our responsibilities as parents, children, spouses and partners.

My wife is out of the country handling some business for her family. I am working a tough new job with more demands than hours in the day. I have an overactive kid who has school, STEM Club, basketball and violin. I keep my job up. I keep his schedule up. I take him to school and pick him up from the babysitter (no nannies for us). I make dinner, help him with his homework, make/pack lunch, get him to bed, do additional office work, clean and start all over again. Meanwhile, Orange Julius walks his bloated carcass up the stairs into Air Force One, rolls into hotel rooms, eats dinners, does a sword dance and gives a 30-minute speech.....and he's exhausted.

[HipChick]

1. Orange Julius has never had to be accountable

I don't see him starting now..

[LOL Lib]

2. Yes he is exhausted.

He is old and being batshit crazy is hard work. He should just do the world a favor and go to the golden showers party in the sky.

[leftstreet]

3. I suspect he takes a lot of naps

By the way, just reading your schedule has left me exhausted

Good on you for it!

[RandySF]

4. I can't wait 'til she gets home.

I have a colleague who is a single mom with two daughters and a long-ass commute. I don't know how she does it.

[sprinkleeninow]

6. Me, also. Your schedule tuckered me out! Then again, you may

be one-third my age! 😊
Keep on keepin' on! 👍👏

[tblue37]

8. And like a toddler who is allowed to sleep for hours during the day, he then cannot sleep at night.

But the lack of sleep at night then makes him need naps during the day, which causes him to be unale to sleep at night again. It is a reinforcing pattern.

[RandySF]

16. I think he's also missing his coke dealer.

[tavalon]

39. You're kidding right?

The last thing he has to give up is his coke. Hell, I bet the secret service goes out and gets it for him.

[keithbvadu2]

32. When the 3:00am call comes in, he will already be awake...... but

When the 3:00am call comes in, he will already be awake...... but

he will be too busy tweeting to answer the phone.

[joshdawg]

44. Ha! Was thinking the same thing.

LOL!

[Fritz Walter]

59. Y'all should lighten up on 45!

He spends so many waking hours watching Faux News, and then after he goes to bed (without the loving embrace of Melange), his tiny, little bladder wakes him up once, twice, maybe even more often at night -- depending on how often he hits the red DietCoke™ button. Ranting on Twitter (repeatedly) settles his mind to the point where he can take a pre-dawn nap before he starts the whole cycle over again. And again.
The only exercise he gets is on weekends, crawling out of a golf cart, swinging a club, waddling back to the cart and repeating 9, maybe 18 times at a stretch.
Take him across 6-7 time zones, make him curtsy, do a sword thingy, climb the steps back into AF1,... what pudgy, ketchup-on-steak-eating 70-year-old could keep up?

Actually, quite a few.
Never mind.

[Scarsdale]

53. Chair lift

could be installed on the steps to Air Farce One?? Yes, I deliberately spelled FORCE that way, it seems appropriate when the orange lump uses the plane.

[Angry Dragon]

60. I believe he is just.....'Asleep at the Wheel'

Texas band I believe

[smirkymonkey]

5. Can you imagine that if these people had to ever do a real day's work and then come home and

take care of a family, how well they would hold up? They wouldn't survive. They are so pathetically incompetent and lazy.

[Phentex]

52. He has never had to do that...

even if he's had to fly out of town and attend meetings, I bet he's been able to rest in his hotel for several hours any time he felt like it. He's had drivers take him everywhere. He hasn't been responsible for others or for preparing his own food or laundry, taking care of a home and yard. Probably never used public transportation. The list goes on.

I don't blame him for being tired right now. But he's never known REAL fatigue.

[rzemanfl]

7. If you find correction offensive, don't read this.

If you don't, I will trade you a "k" for an "l."

[leftstreet]

9. But, I wanted to know what a male lunch was like

[Rorey]

15. Me too!

[JHB]

18. Tastes like bacon

[RandySF]

27. lol I'll fix it.

[Mrs. Overall]

10. He relentlessly attacked Hillary about health and stamina--

is there any part of his life where he isn't a f*cking hypocrite?

[Left-over]

11. None!!!

[flibbitygiblets]

24. Whatever he accuses others of...

...we can be sure he's the one who's actually guilty.

Jeb Bush: "Low Energy"
Ted Cruz: "Lyin' Ted"
Comey: "Nutjob" and "Grandstanding"

Hillary Clinton:
"Doesn't have enough stamina to be president",
also
"can't be trusted with Top Secret info",
also
"Crooked"
also
"No puppet! No puppet! YOU'RE the PUPPET"

[Chemisse]

30. That's so true it's almost pathological.

It's certainly way beyond hypocrisy. I think it's driven by fear that he will be found out unless he accuses someone else of it.

[KelleyKramer]

43. Yes, it is pathological ...

And your second part is pretty much the definition of projection

Trump is damaged goods, he has serious issues

[tavalon]

40. Greatest hits.

And all true of him.

[crazycatlady]

48. He reminds me of an old playground insult

"I am rubber you are glue. Whatever you say to me sticks to you'

[deurbano]

54. Can I borrow that?

[Rhiannon12866]

26. +1000!

Exactly!

[NewJeffCT]

47. It should have been much more of an issue with Trump

1) Trump whined that he couldn't handle the primary debate when it went over 90 minutes.

2) Clinton endured 11 hours of tough questions before the Benghazi committee and emerged unscathed while making them look like morons.

[treestar]

50. Nope

Examples of his hypocrisy abound.

[stonecutter357]

12. wow trump is very low energy !

[bucolic_frolic]

13. Full-blown narcissists exert a tremendous amount of energy to constantly

reassure themselves, feel good, and convince themselves they are the best and most deserving

The meltdown of this Administration is exacting a very high mental, emotional, physical toll on
45's psyche. He could totally collapse from this onslaught. In a way, it's very sad that someone
so unsuited to the office is attempting to deal with its demands.

[NBachers]

14. Gallons of ice cream will turn him right around!

[dalton99a]

20. And large buckets of KFC

with gravy

[JDC]

17. Low Energy Donny

[Roland99]

19. Hillary campaigned with pneumonia! He's a lame ass Snowflake!

[AllaN01Bear]

21. cant stand the heat , get out of the kitchen.

[TalenaGor]

22. "the healthiest person to ever run for office" - is having stamina issues ...breakin my heart

[Snake Plissken]

23. Could you imagine if Trump had to fly coach and carry his own luggage?

They'd find him curled up in a fetal position in one of the bathroom stalls at the airport

[47of74]

35. And in the next stall Former Senator Widestance.....

[spiderpig]

42. If he flew coach he'd have to spring for 3 adjoining seats.

Then he'd refuse to pay for the other two.

[LittleGirl]

25. I wished he would quit. eom

[Lotusflower70]

28. Lol

He doesn't exercise and eats crap with crazy sleep patterns, I bet he is worn out. Plus all that whining and tweeting, it's enough to send you over the edge. I am a single mom working full time and getting my Master's degree and started my doctorate. Gfy and your exhaustion Donald.

[lovemydogs]

29. I don't recall President Obama whining about being exhausted

That is because Obama was a grown up

[mchill]

31. You cannot compare someone Trump's age with someone young enough to need a babysitter

Age IS a factor. I remember having as much energy in my 40's as I did in my 20's, maybe more because I exercised more. I would work weeks on end, 18 hours a day, get little sleep and would never wear out. I remember wondering when does this age thing kick in because I never felt it. Believe me it does and it is startling (for me in my early 60's). I was impressed with both Hillary and Trump for their sustained campaigning. Do not underestimate the affect of age.

[VWolf]

46. True, but then consider just Hillary vs Donald

as they're relatively close in age.

She logged (I've read) over 300,000 miles as SOS.
Never EVER heard her complain about it.

[AllaN01Bear]

33. im a plain speaking engine. i speak what i find ,

get out of the kitchen. thats what the rws would yell at me.

[SunSeeker]

34. That curtsy took a lot out of him.

Link to tweet

[Crowman2009]

36. So Mr. "She has no stamina" is exhausted?

[Initech]

49. Oh the irony!!!!!

[Takket]

37. hillary had a cold, which makes her the most unhealthy person EVER

[47of74]

38. I have no sympathy for Benedict Donald

He spent the past god knows how many years whining about other people's shortcomings, so I have no sympathy for him at all.

[dalton99a]

51. Donald Trump deserves no sympathy whatsoever

Not with the constant stream of depravity he's inflicting on us

[Jamaal510]

41. What's stopping

him from quitting?

[Ligyron]

45. Ahhh, I remember those days.

It gets better...

[Wounded Bear]

55. Was a single parent for many years...

I get what you mean.

Trump's a fucking snowflake.

[niyad]

56. when I heard "exhausted", wanted to throw up.

[lark]

57. He was afraid to bring his coke or whatever uppers he uses on the trip.

It shows in his extreme lethargy.

[murielm99]

58. I used to have that kind of a schedule.

We raised three kids. We both worked. My kids are all two years apart, but the worst years were when all three of them were in different schools.

We both did our share. There were times when my husband had to be the person to take kids to doctor's appointments and get the dog out and to the vet. It was exhausting. But we shared and enjoyed each others' company, too.

Being younger did help. I could not keep that kind of a schedule now.

But Hillary did it, despite trump's criticisms, and the media jumping all over her for having walking pneumonia. She did it for years. She did it as an older person, too.

Trump is a hypocrite. But we all know that.

I hope you and your wife get a chance to relax in the near future.

[RandySF]

61. It's an atypical situation right now

My wife had to travel and attend to some family matters and this will pass in a couple weeks. But I don't know how single parents do it.

[RandySF]

62. Kick for update.
