Turns out Trump sad, very sad.
And according to a new report from the Washington post, he needs a group of
people to constantly follow him around and tell him how great he is.
Now we heard about this in the White House,
now that he's no longer in the White House and
now that he's having difficulty adjusting to, being a lowly civilian.
He needs some extra help, right, adapting to this new lifestyle.
From interviews with about 23 different Trump insiders,
here's what we learned Trump.
Was surprised by how much his secret service detail and motorcade has shrunk.
He no longer had use of a major aircraft Air Force One was unavailable to him and
his company's Trump emblazoned Boeing 757,
was in the shop repairs that took years with delays that infuriated him.
His living spaces were far smaller than the White House, and he was annoyed
that his statements to the press were not getting much attention for advisors said.
Okay, let's just pause because like
having a normal life is like he's
supposed to be a billionaire, right?
Look, I don't believe that he's actually a billionaire, but nonetheless like he's
supposed to be wealthy, powerful, whatever outside of being a president.
But that's not good enough for him.
>> No, I love this story, not just because it shows you how truly pathetic he is.
I mean probably the most pathetic guy in the entire country.
But that he knows it, but he lives that insecurity every day,
he's so insecure that he needs like daily no, like hourly fake validation.
He needs someone following him around with trays of validation, because he's so
insecure cuz why is he that insecure?
Cuz he knows who he is, he knows how pathetic he actually is.
>> Molly Michael who actually served as Trump's assistant in
the White House, said that on quiet days,
she has called around Trump's network of allies across the country.
Requesting that they hit him up,
hit up the former president to boost his spirits with positive affirmations.
>> My God, what are you Stuart Smalley, you are good enough.
>> Okay [LAUGH].
>> Gosh, darn it okay, by the way you're not,
your insecurity is correct ironically.
>> Apparently he gets restless and
just like needs that companionship and that those affirmations.
>> Isn't he married?
>> Is he, I mean on paper.
>> Yeah, well I mean isn't Melania?
I mean I heard they're like the happiest couple in the world,
isn't Melania always telling him how great he is.
>> She's too busy being best.
>> Okay, she's too busy planning on getting buried on another golf course
of his.
>> Now reporting from September also revealed that Trump has an aide who
follows him around the golf course, reading positive news articles and
social media posts about him, okay.
Apparently there is no senior aide living in florida full time, with advisers
flying in and out as need, he has advisers flying in and out as needed, okay.
Mostly to like give him a little pat on the back and
tell him like it'll be alright buddy.
>> It'll be his advisors do, what a sad job.
>> So David Urban who's actually a longtime Trump adviser turned critics said
this quote, he needs someone there to say, here's a really bad idea and this is why.
I don't think he has that kind of crowd around him right now nor
does the president want anybody like that.
But David why are you saying this as if things have changed?
I love how he's saying this as if like, when he was president though,
he was surrounded by truth tellers and naysayers.
No, this is who he was when he was in the White House homeboy you know it.
>> Guys, all of his top advisors know that he's a man child,
that he's a little sad little child who's like, man,
why don't somebody tell me something nice about me, say something nice about me?
And they all are like, yeah, sure let's all serve the mad king.
And let's all tell the American people that he's like a strong figure, when we
all know that he's pathetic and a ball of like just a crying baby in the corner.
And we have to fly in to say nice things about him,
otherwise his fragile ego falls apart.
>> Several people close to Trump said there are only a few people who
are willing to deliver any bad news left in his orbit,
political advisor Susan Wiles chief among them.
His circle has shrunken considerably with many of his longtime allies attempting to
avoid dinner invites and some even weighing roles with other 2024 candidates.
>> And now that one does not speak poorly of Trump,
that one speaks poorly of his allies.
Because every one of those guys when he had power showed up with bells on.
Same exact guy, same exact actions and they would fly in and go, yes, Mr.
Commander in chief, you're such a brave hero, you are standing up for
the american people.
Yes of course you can nuke a hurricane, of course the noise from wind causes cancer,
of course you should inject bleach into your lungs,
of course your commander in chief.
What a great wonderful American.
Now that he doesn't have power like we're trying to avoid him, what a loser.
Yeah, they're like the worst people on there, they might be worse than Trump.
>> But I think that one can tell a lot about you based on the company you
keep no.
>> No, for sure.
>> Yeah, now one of the other things that Trump is struggling with is,
he wants the kind of press attention he got before.
And so every once in a while he'll be like call the press pool,
call the press pool, but you're not president there is no press pool for you.
>> Isn't that amazing that he doesn't know that.
>> I summoned the press know that like I love it.
>> They went home two years ago, there's a different president.
He said yes, but why isn't anybody paying attention to me?
I mean, okay, fine I get it you're fragile I get it.
But how do you just not know that the press pool is for the president?
You thought they just follow you around forever cuz you're such a genius and
you had these pearls of wisdom that they couldn't win.
He did.
>> Look, obviously he should take a lot of blame for having that kind of mindset.
But he also intentionally surrounded himself with people who were constantly
validating everything he was doing, saying thinking, come on.
I mean, yeah, of course he's going to think that.
Now, a former aide said this through an interview with the Washington post,
we had to explain to him that he didn't have a group standing around waiting for
him anymore.
Instead they gathered the few reporters who happened to be reporting
in Palm Beach, two people familiar with the matter said.
So they just like got a few like local reporters together, they're like,
I don't know he wants a press pool but he's not president anymore.
You guys will you do the honor, please.
>> Will you guys pretend that you're covering him when you're
in town to cover a medical story or something along those lines.
By the way, look at the cowards instead of saying mr president you're a moron,
you're not you're an ex president, the press pool doesn't exist anymore.
They say yeah yeah and they grab like a medical report and a traffic reporter and
the eye in the sky with the Doppler 4000 and they bring it in.
And they're like no Mr.
President, they still care a lot about you that you brought out the Doppler 4000.
>> Yes okay.
He has patrons stand around at the golf course to applaud
him as he walks in to have like dinner, applaud him again when he leaves.
>> Just the definition of pathetic.
The appetite for attention hasn't waned, but that's where he gets it now.
The networks don't carry his rallies, he doesn't get interviews anymore,
he can't stand under the wing of Air Force One and gaggle with reporters for an hour.
So patrons of Mar-a-Lago like fill the void that's left behind by the press pool.
>> He likes to enter spectacular fashion into the Mar-a-Lago
dinner area during that time, so that he can get applause.
And then he'll stand up and leave so he can get another round of applause.
And he goes home thinking I was a good boy, that was a good boy.
They still like me, they still like hilarious.
All right one last thing about it, you know how and
I mentioned like wasn't pretending to be a billionaire, right?
So, if he claimed that he had $10 billion remember he
did the trading cards, the NFD thing.
Yeah and he made like four million or whatever something along those lines.
And people are like well at least he made that,
if you have $10 billion why would you care about four million,
why would you humiliate yourself for four million or any amount of money, right?
He doesn't have anything, that's why he buried his ex wife on a golf course for
a tax break,
cuz he's still skimping around the edges trying to find nickels and dimes.
Cuz he's a two bit conman.
What's sad is sure it's super sad, that a guy that hateful captured the imagination
of a third of this country and they're still and became their prophet.
But beyond the hateful, a guy that unintelligent and pathetic was
the leader of about a third of this country, that's tough to recover from
