we just knew

We knew last year that Trump was like this.

He did an abysmal job of pre­tend­ing to care when he grit­ted his teeth and forced him­self to en­dure ‘help­ing’ the Louisiana flood vic­tims just so he could use it as a pho­to-op.

It was ob­vi­ous the man was mis­er­able and would rather have been any­where else, but he was still only a can­di­date for the pres­i­den­cy, and not the president.

I re­mem­ber see­ing that go down and dis­cussing it with oth­er people: 

Can you imag­ine him hav­ing to do that for real? Bad things in­evitably hap­pen in the time span of four years. A pres­i­dent is sup­posed to re­spond and show up to help, and he’ll hate every minute of it. But he won’t do it if he does­n’t have to, any­way. He won’t care. He only cares about himself.

Some peo­ple thought, 

No no, that can’t hap­pen, he’ll have to step up and as­sume the role and do what he needs to do …

We’ve all learned that the pres­i­dent doesn’t ac­tu­al­ly have to do anything. 

It’s been kind of sur­re­al to watch. 

He re­al­ly, re­al­ly doesn’t have to do a damn thing just be­cause he’s The Pres­i­dent of the Unit­ed States. As it turns out, it does still take some mod­icum of de­cen­cy and in­ter­est in do­ing the right thing in or­der to do it. And he has ab­solute­ly none.

But, we knew that.
