33. So the joke isn't just on us ?

He resents the obligations of the office. He resents having to learn about anything he has no interest in. He resents the scrutiny. He resents being held accountable . He resents having his life scheduled. He resents the pushback, any pushback.

His resentment fuels his anger which in turn fuels his maliciousness (transgender military ban, DACA ...). His instinct is to strike out , to make others feel his pain.That's why he always has a whipping boy handy (Spicer,Sessions, Priebus ...). If he is miserable, than everyone must share in his misery. He takes glee in seeing others suffer (it may well be the only thing that truly makes him happy- Harvey was probably the highlight of his week).

I'm thrilled he's miserable, but it doesn't comfort me.
