Seems that he's spent more time golfing, and fund-raising, and tweeting, and traveling the past couple of weeks.
Haven't heard much from him as far as governance is concerned.
I remember he wanted Kasich as his VP during the campaign, and offered to let him handle all presidential duties, foreign and domestic. Trump reserved for himself the simple responsibility of "Making America Great Again". (gag)
Here we are, scarcely a month into his term, and it looks to me that his business model for the presidency has already been implemented.
He'll continue to be the front-man; he'll keep in the public eye daily with his recitation of false facts, while Pence handles the daily duties of the presidency, as a pre-cursor to a post-Trumpian world, which is coming to us at an accelerated pace.

His knuckle dragging supporters thought he'd be "self -funding", talk about buyer's remorse.

(15,682 posts)he's not governing? He's out there wheeling and dealing. Making friends and influencing people. Shmoozing heads of State. Networking.
Jeez. What do you think those trips to Mar a Lago every weekend are? Playtime?
ETA: Just in case this is needed.

(7,135 posts)That he was supposed to unveil last week? Never heard anymore of it. Or his alternative to Obamacare?

(14,113 posts)he'd fly around in Air Force One, play golf, and let Pence run the country. He's already bored with it all.

(25,895 posts)He has no clue how much work is actually involved. He thinks it's just another reality show, where he shows up once a week for the taping, and that's it.
It's my opinion that he will never voluntarily leave. He will need to be forced out one way or another.
