Holiday says Trump administration officials privately complain about jobs they defend publicly

What was said

"When you meet a lot of these politicians privately, not only will they tell you a bunch of things that they won't say in public, but they will also tell you how much they don't like their job. Like, they fucking hate it. It's a miserable job. They don't like their colleagues. They think there's a lot of performance and they have to spend all this time fundraising. They don't like the job."

Holiday describes a disturbing pattern where politicians privately express hatred for their jobs and frustration with performative aspects of governance while publicly defending their positions. He notes these officials complain about colleagues and fundraising demands yet refuse to take moral stands that might cost them positions they claim to despise. This reveals a dysfunction where personal ambition overrides both job satisfaction and public service.
