This does not make sense when, again, aggregate indicia also indicate improvements. The belief that things are worse is false. It remains false.
What's important to recognize about messages coming out of the white house (including tweets!) is that they're chaff. They don't matter. They don't matter. The purpose of these activities, is to distract and confuse and blur and shift burdens. It's why the Buzzfeed article discussion has become about one of its authors.

I mean, no, because the Senate still has to pass a bill and Trump has to sign it, but refusing to sign a bill after mooting literally your only objection to it is the stupidest thing possible, so...

It was Don Mcgahn, who did 30 hours of interviews over three days. And the White House knew, but completely misunderstood the nature of his testimony

quote:

Mr. McGahn and his lawyer, William A. Burck, could not understand why Mr. Trump was so willing to allow Mr. McGahn to speak freely to the special counsel and feared Mr. Trump was setting up Mr. McGahn to take the blame for any possible illegal acts of obstruction, according to people close to him. So he and Mr. Burck devised their own strategy to do as much as possible to cooperate with Mr. Mueller to demonstrate that Mr. McGahn did nothing wrong.

It is not clear that Mr. Trump appreciates the extent to which Mr. McGahn has cooperated with the special counsel. The president wrongly believed that Mr. McGahn would act as a personal lawyer would for clients and solely defend his interests to investigators, according to a person with knowledge of his thinking.
Definitely one of my top five favorite Trump stories: apparently, Trump just assumed that McGahn would either lie or wasn't allowed to say anything incriminating because of a faulty understanding of how lawyers work.
