- Former President Donald Trump wanted reporters to cover a private event he was hosting.
- Advisers then had to explain why he could no longer call on a press pool for his events.
- Advisers found reporters who happened to be working near the area for his event, the Washington Post reported.
Aides and advisers to former President Donald Trump said he had a difficult time transitioning from the White House to life as a private citizen, according to a new report from the Washington Post.
According to the Post, one example of this was when Trump wanted his team to call on a press pool — reporters who travel with presidents — for an event at Mar-a-Lago. Advisers had to break the news to Trump that this was no longer a possibility.
"
We had to explain to him that he didn't have a group standing around waiting for him anymore," an unnamed former aide told the Washington Post.
The advisers ended up pulling reporters who were near Mar-a-Lago for other reasons, two sources told the Post.
Once Trump left office, he was frustrated at his downsized life, which included a smaller number of Secret Service, no access to Air Force One, and little press coverage compared to when he was president, four unnamed advisers to Trump told the Post.
Trump has spent most of his post-presidency in isolation at Mar-a-Lago, playing golf six days a week and using dinner at the club as an opportunity to revel in the attention of admiring fans who applaud his entrances and exits from the dining room.
