"Donald Trump said being US president was harder than he thought" That is among today's headlines. Well, duh!
I'm not surprised that Trump is finding it hard, and normally, I wouldn't chide someone for thinking that. Indeed, I don't chide Trump for saying it. On the contrary, it may be among the few things I've heard him say that doesn't portend profound naivete on his part.
The thing is that time and time again, people were telling him he did not know what he was talking about regarding many of the things he said on the campaign trail. In spite of all the warnings, Trump persisted in thinking he knew better than the people who have experience governing and living in the political spotlight. It appears that only of late may his hubris be attenuating to the point that he sees that his critics did know what they were talking about.
