Let's be honest - Trump is MISERABLE being President [View all]

He had a very nice life going. The rockstar lifestyle. His own Boeing 757, winters at Mar-A-Lago and Doral Golf Club. Summers in NJ and his other properties. Gallivanting around the globe being Mr Bigshot. He had pretty solid ratings at NBC for the Apprentice. Flashy kids, big NY City Penthouse, lots of Hollywood/Celebrity friends.

Now? He has meeting after meeting after meeting of stuff he couldn't give two shits less about. He has to be protected 24/7 by a massive amount of Secret Service. He can't just decide to get up and go to one of his properties...that needs to be planned weeks in advance for SS. He can't just go out to dinner with family and friends. He can't do a TV show for his "ratings and ego" fix. Hollywood/Celebrities mostly hate him now. I imagine other friends have probably abandoned him. He is 100% under a microscope at every minute of the day now. His approval ratings suck so that makes him even more miserable.

So what is the breaking point? Does he resign and claim "I won mother Fers...but nobody appreciated me so bye bye..." Does he burrow in and double down on his BS campaign promises and help Congress lose the House in 2018 and lose BIGLY in 2020? Does he die of a stroke from stress?
