President Trump exists in a world where President Trump is overwhelmingly popular.
I mean this literally: He’s surrounded by family and broadly supportive staffers at the White House. He spends many weekends and every vacation at properties he himself owns, populated by people who pay to be there. …
No wonder he dislikes the media so much; reporters pressing him on contradictions or unpopular policies are among his only exposures to a world in which his behavior is held to account.
There is another place in which reality intrudes: polling. CONT.
