Nobody—least of all, @realDonaldTrump—knew that being President of the United States could be so complicated.
The first 100 days of his presidency have proven to be quite a learning experience for Trump, and a truly terrifying experience for the rest of us.
Trump came into office expecting the job to be a cakewalk—a misconception that his predecessor, Barack Obama, is clearly to blame for, having made it look so damn easy.
Despite the fact that his party controls both chambers of Congress, Trump has been struggling to achieve anything of significance during his tenure.
But to Trump and his supporters, that's just FAKE NEWS.
As far as they're concerned, the real story is how wildly successful he's been at driving all of the right people (scientists, immigrants, fact-checkers, globalists, "elites") crazy.
Duh, winning!

Elsewhere...
Ivanka Trump was greeted with boos and hisses at a German conference on female entrepreneurship.
The event opened with the first daughter explaining her role in the White House.
"You are first daughter -- German audience not familiar -- what is your role -- to whom are you represented? Your father, the American people, or your business," asked Miriam Meckel, editor of German business magazine Wirtschaftswoche.
"Well, certainly not the latter, and I am rather unfamiliar with this role as well, as it is quite new to me," replied Trump, a top adviser to her father. "It has been a little under 100 days, but it is just been a remarkable, an incredible journey."
"So it's very early for me. I'm listening, I'm learning, I'm defining the ways in which I think I'll be able to have impact," she added.
The audience interrupted Trump with hissing and boos during a discussion on paid leave when she began describing her father as an advocate for women.
In response...
Fox News host Jesse Watters defended Ivanka in the network's trademark style, before heading off on a previously unnanounced vacation.
Presenter Jesse Watters said on-air with a smirk that he "really liked how she was speaking into the microphone" while the president's daughter appeared on a panel in Berlin last Tuesday.
The following day he denied making a sexual innuendo, claiming he had instead been complimenting her voice which is "like a jazz radio DJ."
Last week Fox news host Bill O?Reilly, who is widely regarded as Watters? mentor, was sacked by the network after a slew of sexual harassment allegations.
A few hours after Watters claimed his remark had been misinterpreted, he made an announcement on his show. He told the Fox panellists: "Also, I'm going to be taking a vacation with my family, so I'm not going to be here tomorrow."
And, in other Ivanka news...
The distributor of her branded merchandise found a novel way to dissociate the brand from her.
Amid growing backlash against the first family's business empire, Ivanka Trump merchandise was relabeled as Adrienne Vittadini Studio at discount retailer Stein Mart, according to a Business of Fashion report.
G-III Apparel Group, which owns the right to manufacture and distribute the Ivanka Trump brand, told the website that it sold the rebranded merchandise to Stein Mart without the first daughter's brand's knowledge.
A source within Stein Mart told Business of Fashion that the retailer has received criticism for carrying Ivanka Trump merchandise, and that one angry customer spit on a blouse in front of a cashier before storming out of the store.
I'd buy that for a dollar.
