What's Trump going to do when he finds out

[MineralMan]

that being President is a job that takes enormous amounts of time and energy? I don't really think he understands the scope of the job he will be undertaking at the end of this work week.

He doesn't seem to me like someone who enjoys hard work, somehow. While he can delegate some stuff, a President has a lot of decisions to make that only the President can make.

I think he is going to be very surprised to discover that he can't just make broad pronouncements and move on to something else.

1. Pence and Bannon will run the day to day, he will only show up for photo ops.

[MineralMan]

2. Maybe. Maybe not.

I'm watchfully waiting to see what he actually does. I think there is about to be a major culture-shock moment or two very soon after he is sworn in. I don't think he's up to the job, frankly.

[Motown_Johnny]

20. Agreed.

He will be Twitterer-In-Chief.

Policy will be set by whoever funnels the most money into his foreign accounts and his underlings will be tasked with implementing it.

3. Being POTUS only takes a tremendous amount of time and energy if you are interested in ....

... trying to do a good job.

I think he will make broad pronouncements and move on ... leaving disaster in his wake (he will be oblivious to the disaster)

[MineralMan]

6. From the moment he walks into the White House,

he's going to have people demanding decisions about an enormous range of issues. That will be the non-stop business of the day, starting on day one. I doubt that he has any idea of the complexity of the job. I think when he finds out just how many things he's expected to do, he's going to simply shut down from the overload.

He can outsource and delegate only so much of that job. The pressure of being President is a reality that can't be avoided, I think.

4. He'll be the first president whose hair doesn't turn gray.

5. I've been in the corporate arena a long time, no way IMO is he made of the stuff to handle this job!

[MineralMan]

7. I agree with you. I think he's clueless

about what the job required of a President. He'll learn very quickly that he has bitten off more than he can chew, I think.

8. What's he going to do when he discovers that taking away medicare, increasing unemployment

lowering pay, handcuffing women's rights, and exploding the deficit doesn't increase his already low popularity.

If congress moves quickly to do everything they threaten...he could be in the low 20s by summer. Oh, and then there is always the unknown things that pop up. When what you plan to do is a bad idea, the unplanned things will be crippling.

9. Reading tRump's body language...

...he does not really handle his stress well at all. Couple that with his (a) short attention span and (b) complete lack of impulse control. I honestly believe we'll witness a catastrophic break down in his mental health within six months.

His wrecking crew may try salvage what they can to hide it like El Cid, or Weekend at Bernie's, but eventually it will all coalesce into one big shit-storm with tRump in the vortex.

Let's face it, we all realize tRump can't handle any real stress. When asked to or forced to he exhibits some fashion of a short-circuit.

In a real-world battle scenario, he'd be the guy that threw down his rifle, jumped from his fox hole ran away from the enemy.... while all the genuine combatants dealt with their fears and did not cower in the face of the battle in front of them.

At the end of the day, tRump is a bully and a coward. Unfortunately, he'll be sitting in the Oval Office, our Oval Office.

10. He thinks he can delegate all of it but the tweets.

Can you say "total chaos"? I can.

[MineralMan]

12. Yes, chaos will be the order of the day, I think.

It's a big fan in the White House, capable of flinging brown stuff far and wide. And there will be plenty of the brown stuff thrown at the White House fan in a Trump administration.

11. Dump doesn't give a shit. Dump is awesome! Dump will get someone else to do the work...

...and take credit or cast blame. It's all the same to Dump, because he doesn't give a shit.

[dragonlady]

13. Any decisions that Trump does make

will take an average of five seconds of his time.

[dalton99a]

14. Leaving plenty of time for Twitter and Russia Today.

[pnwmom]

15. Delegate.

Jared Kushner will be working hard.

[TeamPooka]

16. It's like his companies, Ivanka's in charge and Donny will tweet all day.

[Gothmog]

17. Trump is a lazy man and simply will not do the job

[Vinca]

18. I imagine he'll spend much of his time in his gold bathroom at Trump Tower tweeting.

He is the most unqualified person for this position I can think of and I don't see him doing much other than being a ceremonial head of state. Maybe he'll get himself a military hat and a coat with epaulets so he can strut around and pretend he has balls.

[lindysalsagal]

19. The west wing handlers will be in his face 12 hours+ a day.

It remains to be seen if he can get through even one morning of that.
