'He's not good': Conservatives lament Trump still 'doesn't know how to be president'

A pair of conservative commentators ripped President Donald Trump on Wednesday for not doing his job.

Sarah Longwell, publisher of the conservative newsletter The Bulwark, discussed Trump's job performance with Sam Stein, the outlet's managing editor, on a recent episode of "Bulwark Takes" on YouTube. The two agreed that it doesn't seem like Trump truly understands what his job is, and if he does, he doesn't care to do the work he needs to.

"He wants all the puddings," she said. "He wants all the treats that come with being of high status. He likes the fancy planes and the ornate offices and the Nobel Peace Prize. This is classic for Trump."

"He doesn't want to do the work, like the real work of diplomacy," Longwell continued. "And I mean, meeting with Putin is not exactly diplomacy. This is who Trump is. And he's not good at he's not good at the real stuff."

Trump is scheduled to meet with Putin on Friday in Anchorage, Alaska. It's been reported that the two will discuss ending the war in Ukraine, although the demands that Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy have put forward seem to be miles apart, according to analysts.

"Trump doesn't actually know how to be the president still," Longwell said. "He knows how to do all the things he's done all his life, which are corruption, make deals in which he tries to bully people, and not pay people, and do golf courses, and buildings, right?"

"This is why he is building a ballroom, because he knows how and he cares about that, and that's how he seeks to put his imprint on things," Longwell added.
