He said that he would probably just work because that&#8217;s what he likes to do.

Trump hasn&#8217;t tweeted any pictures with his family, including his young son Barron. He hasn&#8217;t bought his wife a present, but says he did get her a card. There doesn&#8217;t appear to have been any dinners with his kids and grand-kids, although <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wptv.com\/news\/region-c-palm-beach-county\/president-trump-spotted-at-his-golf-club-with-rush-limbaugh\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">he did dine with Rush Limbaugh<\/a><\/strong>. What there is on Trump&#8217;s schedule is what he does all the rest of the year: WHINE! And there&#8217;s been plenty of that.<\/p>\n<p>Trump&#8217;s Twitter feed is awash with petulant crybaby laments. For the most part he is complaining about having just been impeached. And while he is pretending that he isn&#8217;t bothered by this permanent stain on his legacy, he can&#8217;t seem to let go of it. His griping takes the form of bizarre assertions that <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=43533\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">he hasn&#8217;t been impeached at all<\/a><\/strong>. Or that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=43562\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">crazy and incompetent<\/a><\/strong>.

They are not in any way representative of reality. They barely make logical sense. For example, Kilmeade is says that Democrats are showing that <em>&#8220;they don\u2019t care about the American public\u2019s tone deafness.&#8221;<\/em> HUH? And then Trump adds that <em>&#8220;They want to make it as hard as possible for me to properly run our Country!&#8221;<\/em> There are just two things wrong with that remark. First, it falsely presumes that he is able to properly run our country. And second it misses the real point, which is that Democrats are only trying to make it hard for him get away with treasonous crimes.<\/p>\n<p>So Trump spent the day watching Fox news and whining about what a victim he is and how all these meany Democrats are persecuting him. He&#8217;s supposed to be the leader of the free world but he can&#8217;t stop sobbing about what he thinks is unfair treatment. He&#8217;s been doing this for months without a rest. And he&#8217;s too unaware to recognize that he&#8217;s the cause of all his troubles. So on and on he goes, even through the holidays. And there is no reason to expect it to end as the new year begins. Whining is all Trump knows how to do.
