February 1, 2019 at 12:51 pm EST By Taegan Goddard
Susan Glasser: Its hardly surprising that, in the days since his shutdown humiliation, Trump has retreated into the virtual seclusion of Twitter, holed up watching cable news and tweeting his alternative reality as America struggles with an actual deep freeze. For Trump, the fake world is much better than the real one. There is no extreme weather in his White House; in fact, climate change does not exist inside its walls. Trumps policy has decreed it.
Hes avoiding more than just the frigid air outside; in the cocoon of the Oval Office, there are only invited guests and staff who, while they may be secretly leaking unflattering accounts, at least have the good sense to be nice to Trumps face. In recent days, the Democratic Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi, has compared Trump to a petulant toddler and openly wondered what Russia has on him. Why would Trump want to spend his time negotiating with her?
Much better, from Trumps point of view, to simply announce, as he did to reporters on Thursday, that Nancy Pelosi will be begging for a wall, and spend the day with his own press secretary, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, who this week told an interviewer that God wanted Donald Trump to become President.
