Donald Trump spent Christmas Eve all alone in the White House and apparently didn’t like it.
On Monday morning, the president posted a tweet that can only be described as self-pitying, right down to the “poor me” reference.
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!

If Trump was expecting Twitter users to offer kind words of “it gets better” support, he was sadly mistaken. Instead, there was snark. Lots and lots of snark.
Home Alone. !!!

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.

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.
Our POTUS just tweeted poor me. OMG what alternative reality is this?

But (poor me)?
Let's hope he's visited by three spirits tonight!

For a “Dealmaker”, you seem to have trouble understanding that in order to make a deal, you need to be talking to the other side.

And with your history of trying to make life like a tv show (“will he sign or not? Tune in tomorrow.”), why should they trust you?
Fixed it for you, President Loco.#FakePresident pic.twitter.com/RxW5ooIs7s

I believe the correct response is “womp womp” now?
