Donald Trump had to be told a pool of reporters would no longer follow him around because he wasn't president anymore: report

According to a new report from the Washington Post, former President Donald Trump had a hard time transitioning from the White House to being a private citizen.

One example is when Trump wanted his team to call on a press pool for an event at Mar-a-Lago. Advisers had to tell Trump that this wasn't possible.

An unnamed former aide told the Washington Post that they had to explain to him that he no longer had a group waiting for him.

The advisers pulled the reporters because they were near Mar-a-Lago.

Four advisers to Trump told the Post that he was frustrated by his downsized life, which included a smaller number of Secret Service, no access to Air Force One, and a lack of press coverage compared to when he was president.

Trump has spent most of his post-presidency in isolation at Mar-a-Lago, playing golf six days a week and using dinner as an opportunity to bask in the attention of fans who applaud his entrances and exits from the dining room.

An aide told the Post that the praise he gets from guests at his Palm Beach, Florida, and Bedminster, New Jersey, clubs is how he gets the attention he became used to.

The appetite for attention hasn't waned, but that's where he gets it now. He no longer gets interviews. He can't stand under the wing of Air Force One.

The Post reported that he has spent less time being challenged by aides and listening to opposition from political opponents.

Trump wants to be in the White House for another four years. He announced on November 24 that he was running for president in twenty four years. He is still facing legal and political challenges.

The January 6 committee investigating Trump's role in the Capitol insurrection is expected to recommend that he be charged with insurrection, obstruction of an official proceeding, and conspiracy to defraud the US government.

The committee hopes the action will influence Garland to take action against the former president.

The Department of Justice is investigating Trump after the FBI found classified documents that the former president took with him to Mar-a-Lago.

The representative for Trump didn't reply immediately.
