According to a report from the Wall Street Journal, Donald Trump has recently taken to complaining to dinner companions at his Mar-a-Lago resort that things are not going as well as he thought they would in his return to the presidency.

Now that he is over 100 days into his second term, the president in recent weeks has expressed growing dissatisfaction that he hasn't been able to deliver on his promise to end the war in Ukraine and has even taken to wondering if Russian President Vladimir Putin has been stringing him along.

According to the Journal's Josh Dawsey and Alexander Ward, "Trump spoke to a room of top donors at his Florida club last week, he described ending Russia’s war in Ukraine as a growing frustration that keeps him up at night, people in the room said," with the Journal report adding, "As he passes the 100-day mark of his second term with neither conflict closer to a resolution, negotiations to end Iran’s nuclear program stalled, and a trade war straining relationships with allies, Trump is finding solving the world’s problems more difficult than he had thought."

His only job is to get rich and he has made 3 billion dollars so far since becoming president.

The group will be managed by a firm which is experienced in handling funds. Trump's input will be limited to his usual branding ploy by which he will collect a percentage of the income just for bestowing his imprimatur to the investment vehicle.

I wonder if we will ever know about all of them and the total amount taken from Americans
and citizens of other countries.

Sure, the grift was on from day one, but mostly, the first administration seemed to try follow the legal processes, even if it was quite corrupt and extremely right-wing and incompetent.

This time around, he's trying to be an outright dictator blatantly ignoring the law and the constitution.

So yeah, he's getting pushback. Good.
