Details Emerge Of What Trump Does Alone In The White House, And It Is Beyond Disturbing
If you were wondering what Donald Trump does when he’s not praising himself at a podium or angry tweeting, The New York Times just put out an article that reveals a little bit into the Trump White House.
To quote activist Shaun King, this is “a deeply disturbing article.” And he sums it up as such:
- Trump signs Executive Orders that he does not fully review.
- He ends his day, home alone, without his wife or kids, at about 6:30pm
- He then changes into a bathrobe and mopes around.
- He is obsessed with the decor of the White House.
- He is literally looking at books of curtain designs and thinking about Interior Design, giving people tours and telling lies about what came from where.
The article explains that he is pretty much alone in the White House. His oldest children are grown, and Barron is with Melania in New York City. Trump also isn’t hard at work, Bannon is, and that’s not a good thing.
According the The New York Times:
“Aides confer in the dark because they cannot figure out how to operate the light switches in the cabinet room. Visitors conclude their meetings and then wander around, testing doorknobs until finding one that leads to an exit. In a darkened, mostly empty West Wing, Mr. Trump’s provocative chief strategist, Stephen K. Bannon, finishes another 16-hour day planning new lines of attack.”
Meanwhile Trump seems to be done for the day at 6:30pm. Keep in mind, it’s still 3:30 pm on the west coast. Goodness forbid something were to happen or there were business to attend to. For a guy who went after Hillary Clinton so hard about “stamina” he doesn’t seem to have much of any himself.
Here’s part of what Trump has done to the Oval Office:
“As part of Mr. Trump’s Oval Office renovation, he ordered that four hardback chairs be placed in a semicircle around his Resolute Desk now heaped, in Trump Tower fashion, with memos and newspapers. They are an emblem of Mr. Trump’s in-your-face management style, but also a reminder that in the White House, the seats always outlast the people seated in them.”…“Vistors to the Oval Office say Mr. Trump is obsessed with decor — it is both a totem of a victory that validates him as a serious person and an image-burnishing backdrop — so he has told his staff to schedule as many televised events in the room as possible.”
You know, because when you can’t actually fulfill the role as president, at least look presidential.
And here’s how he seems find things to trigger his angry outbursts on Twitter:
“He often has to wait until the end of the workday before grinding through news clips with Mr. Spicer, marking the ones he does not like with a big arrow in black Sharpie — though he almost always make time to monitor Mr. Spicer’s performance at the daily briefings, summoning him to offer praise or criticism.”
Holy shit. If you weren’t aware of his obsessions with how things appear over how they actually are, this should be all the proof you need.
Trump also seems to think that everything about his first two weeks in office is going very well. This aversion to facts and reality isn’t only concerning, it’s dangerous.
