His deed was "his way of conveying his gratitude for staying in Australia, for being granted citizenship."

Donald has never liked the WORK of being president. He's too lazy for that and lacks the attention and ability to read. Instead, he likes the pomp, flattery and opportunities to use the office to make money. In other words, he is useless to the American people, other than trolling for the MAGA half.
