Donald Trump is stuck in the White House after the shutdown that started on Friday. He was supposed to spend Christmas at Mar-a-Lago with FLOTUS Melania Trump and their whole family but apparently, he cannot join them due to the government problems that he needs to solve.
While Melania Trump went ahead and flew to Florida to spend the holidays there it was reported that she returned to the White House to be with her husband. However, this seems to be not enough to cheer up the president and since his kids are away. With his family being miles away from him on Christmas Day, the POTUS could not help but be lonely.
Via Twitter, he lamented that he is all alone and went on to air his disappointments about the lack of positive development in the government shutdown. “I am all alone (poor me) in the White House waiting for the Democrats to come back and make a deal on desperately needed Border Security,” he tweeted on Dec. 24. “At some point the Democrats not wanting to make a deal will cost our Country more money than the Border Wall we are all talking about. Crazy!”
Now, in another report that was published in the New York Times, it was claimed that Donald Trump has been hiding after retreating to his residence. Rather than working to resolve the shutdown, the POTUS is allegedly watching TV the whole day.
“He spends ever more time in front of a television, often retreating to his residence out of concern that he is being watched too closely. As he sheds advisers at a head-spinning rate, he reaches out to old associates, complaining that few of the people around him were there at the beginning.”
Melania and Donald Trump originally planned a 16-day holiday break in Mar-a-Lago but a few days before they are set to fly to Florida, the shutdown happened. Now, the president is being investigated for the funding issues over his Mexico-US border project.
