He doesn’t even put in the hours. Imagine you or I on any job, acting the way Trump does: don’t show up until 11:00AM, pick fights with staff, have tantrums, lie incessantly, always blame others, shirk responsibility, etc., etc.

How long do you think we’d last? I’d expect to be “retired” within the time it took building security to show up.
