Donald Trump hates his job, and possibly his life right now. Update!

This is from a rather extensive Politico article which goes into great detail about the loss of White House and administration staff and the struggle to replace them, as well as Trump's loss of support among those deciding to stay in place.

This last at the end is what I really wanted to share with you:

That’s left Trump in a bind amid recent public criticisms from people like Secretary of State Rex Tillerson and economic adviser Gary Cohn, who both publicly distanced themselves from Trump’s comments in the wake of the violent white nationalist protests in Charlottesville, Virginia. 

“I think that cuts him to the quick,” said a source close to the president. But he knows he can’t afford to push either man out right now. Outside of U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley, who people close to Trump do not think is ready to head the State Department, the source said, “I couldn’t name you a guy who would take the job or get confirmed.” 

But staffing up is far down on the list of Trump’s priorities right now. As he heads into an autumn fight on tax reform with a Congress he feels does not respect or fear him, the source close to the president described his mind-set, in recent weeks, as “the worst it’s ever been.” 

“He feels like this is not what he signed up for, and his accomplishments are being underplayed,” the person added. “He just looks around and says, ‘When is this going to get better?’”

Way back in May the guy who wrote "The Art of the Deal" for Trump said that he would resign and then somehow declare victory.

At the time I did not really think that was likely.

However now I am beginning to think that doing so will be Trump's only way to get out of a job he really hates, while also doing it on his terms.

Trump's only other option is to dig in and fight the impeachment that he has to know is coming for him, while those around him either jump ship or turn on him and undercut every decision that he makes until he is forcibly removed.

Update: According to Eric Trump his dad may not only hate his job, he may be suicidal over it: 

“It’s the media, the mainstream media, who does not want him to succeed. It’s government who does not want him to succeed… No matter what he does, he’s going to get hit, and listen, I think you have to tune it out. You obviously have to be tuned into it, but at the same time you have to take it all with a grain of salt.” 

“If they weren’t talking about you, you wouldn’t be doing something right and it’s important to keep it in context, otherwise quite frankly you’d probably end up killing yourself out of depression,” Eric Trump said. “But he’s doing a great job.”

Clearly this family has no idea what "doing a great job" even means.

I actually think that Trump is too big of a narcissist to ever take his own life.

Still this is just further proof that Trump is barely hanging on by his fingertips.
