“Fighting a virtual one-man messaging battle for his border wall, President Trump is growing frustrated that he doesn’t have more public defenders in his shutdown fight with Congressional Democrats,” Politico reports.
“The result is a manic, one-man public-relations effort to sell the shutdown that has left some White House officials scrambling to catch up. Trump has griped to associates that hasn’t seen enough administration officials on the airwaves defending him during the shutdown fight, according to three people close to the president. He is also angry that he didn’t get more backup for his mid-December decision to pull U.S. troops out of Syria.”
