I thought it was more of a… I’m a details oriented person… I think you would say that. But I do miss my old life. This – I like to work. But this is actually more work,” Trump told Reuters.

Trump also said he misses his pre-presidency freedom.

“And, while I had very little privacy, in my old life because, you know, I’ve been famous for a long time. I really – this is much less privacy than I’ve seen before. This is, you know, something that’s really amazing. At the same time, you’re really into your own cocoon because there’s such massive protection, that you really can’t go anywhere. I like to drive. I can’t drive anymore,” he said.

According to Reuters, Trump frequently turns to outside friends and former colleagues for advice and positive reinforcement.
