It’s Christmas and people across the world are celebrating the festival, except for the ‘most powerful man in the world’–the President of the United States Donald Trump.
Trump shared his ‘grievance’ on the social media by his own admission.
As the US government shutdown entered its third day, Trump took to the micro-blogging site Twitter to tell the world how he was ‘all alone’ in the White House along with other ‘complaints.’
“I am all alone (poor me) in the White House waiting for the Democrats to come back and make a deal on desperately needed Border Security.
I am all alone (poor me) in the White House waiting for the Democrats to come back and make a deal on desperately needed Border Security. At some point the Democrats not wanting to make a deal will cost our Country more money than the Border Wall we are all talking about. Crazy!

“At some point the Democrats not wanting to make a deal will cost our country more money than the border wall we are all talking about. Crazy!” Trump said on Monday.
Apparently, Trump is all by himself as the Congress is out of town and the debate over his demand for a $5 billion US-Mexico border wall is at a deadlock as the Democrats, and even some Republicans, have already made it clear that they would not vote for the border wall.
Outside the White House, Washington’s National Christmas Tree became a forlorn symbol of the dysfunction gripping Trump’s presidency two years after his surprise election.
The National Park Service tweeted that the tree would remain unlit and closed to the public “until further notice”, with checks being made for damage following an attempt by an intruder on Friday to climb the tree.
In response to Trump’s ‘I am all alone (poor me)’ tweet, there has been a flurry of counter tweets and memes trolling the President as Christmas celebrations kicked off across the globe.
One user even shared a clip from the movie Home Alone 2 in which Trump had a cameo.
Check out a few:
There’s hundreds of thousands homeless veterans on the street.

You are alone in the White House because your ego outweighs your desire to do what’s right for America.
While you are alone in a Mansion, there are 800,000 Americans not being paid this Christmas, you out of touch baby.

all alone? so I guess you’re blasting Fox News over all the speakers. President Nixon took solace in the paintings of past presidents. they talked into the wee hours. and remember, Hannity is just a burner phone call away.
