42. I don't think the normal high pressures of the presidency apply to him.

For the pressure to get to you, you have to care about doing a good job. He's running things like his business. He listens to no one. He makes an outrageous statement, his minions defend him, he tests the wind, he adjusts the statement, he denies that any previous statement ever existed. I think that this is how he's lived his entire life, nothing has changed for him. Earthquake in California? so what, those people won't vote for him anyway. Denying children the basics of life? So? They only exist to be used by him, and he's doing that. Explosion in Florida? Cleared real estate in a good location. What a profit opportunity for investors!

Yes to absolutely everything else you said, but the pressures of the presidency? Nah. He doesn't feel any of it.
