Hillary Clinton traveled overseas for 401 days as Secretary of State. Donald Trump had to cancel appearances two days into a nine-day foreign trip because he was exhausted. 78,000 Americans in Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, and Michigan got conned into electing a man president who has less stamina than Hillary Clinton.

How is the White House going to drag Trump though the rest of this trip?
The best guess is that they aren’t.
Before he ever left, The New York Times reported that Trump didn’t want to go on the trip, and was trying to get it shortened from nine days to five.
Trump sold himself during both the Republican presidential primary and the general election as a human dynamo of energy who could get things done. He claimed that former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton lacked the stamina needed to be president.
Well, Donald Trump is tired after two days on the road.
Hillary Clinton who refused to telecommute and visited 112 countries as Sec. of State. Hillary Clinton spent 401 days traveling which equals 1.099 years.
Trump couldn’t last two full days.
Hillary Clinton spent more than 86 days in the air as Sec. of State. Again, Trump’s fight time to Saudi Arabia was 13 hours and 55 minutes, yet he is so tired that he can’t function by day two of a nine-day trip.
Trump is demonstrating that he isn’t up to the job of being president. The presidency is too much to Trump to physically handle.
Trump belongs on his couch eating hotdogs and watching Fox News instead of failing to measure up to what is required of the leader of the world’s only superpower.
