President Trump: ‘I thought it would be easier’
Reflecting on his first 100 days in the White House, President Donald Trump told Reuters Thursday he’s been surprised by aspects of his new job, including how much work it is when compared with running his business empire. “I loved my previous life,” Trump said. “This is more work than in my previous life. I thought it would be easier.”
According to Reuters, Trump also said he was surprised at how little privacy he has now, despite being used to not having much of it in his “old life.” The president, who never held public office before he was elected to the nation’s highest office, told the news agency he’s still getting used to his 24-hour Secret Service protection.
In the wide-ranging interview, Trump also warned of the possibility of a “major conflict” with North Korea and said his administration is prepared for a government shutdown.
Saturday marks Trump’s 100th day in office, a milestone for which he released a ambitious action plan in the fall.
