The First 99 Days of the 45th

DONALD TRUMP QUOTE, after 99 days in office: "I do miss my old life. This — I like to work. But this is actually more work.” - TV6 News, citing CNN Wire Service, 04/28/17
Well. Like, he said. What did the 45th think being President of the United States of America was going to look like? Perhaps, he thought it was going to be like running a business.
LEADING the United States of America (leading being the operative word), and not UNILATERALLY through Executive Orders, making decisions that impact this country and the world, like a dictatorship, are key characteristics of a United States President and Leader of the free world.
I apologize if this writing is asking more questions than it is likely answering, but remarks of our 45th President continue to give rise for more questions about his leadership capabilities than it does answers. One cannot help but to ask, why would an individual “throw their hat into the ring” and run for President of the United States of America, without first completely thinking this through as to the gravity of the situation nationwide and worldwide, and as to the “hard work” as our 45th President so eloquently puts it.
Because the 44th President of the United States of America, Barack H. Obama was VERY QUALIFIED for this job, to lead America and the free world, having first been an Attorney, a Community Organizer, State Legislator and then a United States Senator, skill-sets that qualify one to properly run this country as President, Obama made a hard job (President), look easy.
Respectfully, it continues to baffle my mind how this country by majority vote of its Electoral College, voted for such a vastly inexperienced candidate as to qualifications for the job as the 45th President of the United States of America. Particularly, when available to the people of the United States for President, through its Electoral College vote, was such an extremely qualified candidate in the opponent of Donald J. Trump, former Secretary of State, Hillary Rodham Clinton. Like her would have been predecessor, Barack H. Obama, Hillary Rodham Clinton is an attorney. She was also a legal advocate for children's defense, a governor's wife, the First Lady of the United States, a United States Senator, and the United States Secretary of State. Hillary had done the “hard work” already, that had prepared her for the Presidency. In addition to her qualifications, Hillary Clinton also won the 45th presidential election by the United States popular vote over Donald J. Trump.
I cannot think of any other Presidential nominee in the history of America who was as qualified as Hillary Rodham Clinton to do this “hard work” of the presidency and was prepared to do it, male or female. So again, I must ask myself, what was the fundamental difference between this most qualified candidate Hillary Clinton, and the 45th or any other former President elected to the office of President of the United States? Oh, wait! I remember. The difference is, Hillary Rodham Clinton is a woman.
