Either that or trying to find his happy place.

This whole thing about a government shutdown is a bit of a wet noodle this time around. Most of the government - including the all-powerful national parks - are funded through at least part of next year. If a shutdown happens in the next week or two, its effect will be fairly minimal. And I think that might be what Trump is playing at; he doesn't see the downside here like there was last January (even thought that one only lasted a weekend).

But, you know, at least he's got Piers Morgan volunteering for Chief Of Staff. So there's that.

The big government shutdown in 2013 at almost no effect on the 2014 election.

I think this is one of these political sayings that is way overblown.

@tedlieu admonishes colleagues: "If you want positive search results, do positive things. If you don't want negative search results, don't do negative things. And to my colleagues, if you're getting bad results, don't blame Google or Twitter, consider blaming yourself." 🔥🔥🔥

The more I watch video of today's White House thing the more Pence reminds me of that Homer Simpson gif of him receding into the shrub.

Appears he had a sense of humor afterwards

VP Pence, who sat silently during that whole Oval Office crackup, told R senators at closed-door lunch that, “There appears to be a disagreement” over the wall, per Sen. Cassidy. “And everybody laughed.”

Unlike the baby

Trump "stormed out" of Oval Office, threw folder full of papers after Pelosi, Schumer meeting: report https://t.co/72c3vL95sV https://t.co/u8ZuUrUfWJ

Pence is a weirdo, but I guess out of this admin, he's my have-a-beer-with guy, since mattis only drinks the blood of enemies.
