It depends on who he's listening to, and unfortunately Bubble Boy retreated immediately behind a screen of handlers who don't let any light in. I think the job frightens him, but perhaps more than anything else it inconveniences him. Having to concentrate on work for more than a few minutes a day exhausts him, and then he gets cranky, and then he gets belligerent. Same old Donald.

Better. I thought for sure I'd be in a concentration camp and that we would be in WW III by now.
