Repetition

“To a reporter from Reuters this week, though, Trump had a slightly different assessment of the presidency.

‘I love my previous life. I had so many things going. This is more work than in my previous life,’ Trump said. ‘I thought it would be easier. I thought it was more of a ... I'm a details-oriented person. I think you'd say that, but I do miss my old life. I like to work so that's not a problem but this is actually more work.’”

I have a few pet peeves. One is repetition.

I've accepted that this guy, Donald Trump, is this country's president, and that as much as his bearing, mannerisms, and facets of his personality irk me sometimes, I've done my best to not speak ill of him.

I wish, though, he'd take notice of the things he does and says. He's seventy years old, so changing is not easy. His penchant for repeating things over and over in one sentence really bothers me, though. It's almost as if he can't think of things to say off the cuff, so he repeats himself until he can think of something else.

I hope he can do better extemporaneously as he goes through his presidency.
