"I was in the White House all by myself for six, seven days. It was very lonely."

“You know, I was in the White House all by myself for six, seven days. It was very lonely. My family was down in Florida,” Trump recounted. He described channel-flipping and watching a different network — PBS — to fill the time.

“I felt I should be here just in case people wanted to come and negotiate the border security,” Trump explained.

“I was all by myself in the White House — it’s a big, big house — except for all the guys out on the lawn with machine guns,” Trump said, referencing the Secret Service and military personnel who guard the White House year-round.

“I was waving to them. ... These are great people. And they don’t play games. They don’t, like, wave. They don’t even smile,” he said. “I was hoping that maybe somebody would come back and negotiate. But they didn’t do that.”

I said at the beginning of this that he puts on a suit and goes to the Oval just so everyone knows he’s there. I even joked that he probably waves at the grounds crew. Turns out that’s pretty much what he does.

Poor Donnie didn't have a good Christmas. It's called Karma because you ruined the holidays for 800,000 government workers and nearly 2 million government contractors.

You were lonely? Should've called some of the unemployed over for a holiday dinner. I'm sure they would have appreciated it.

What an insufferable oaf.

except for the permanent White House staff of something like 90 people that are doing all of the shopping, cooking, cleaning, repairing, and pretty much waiting on your sorry orange ass, hand and foot, 24 hours a day.
