Wrote to friends and family telling them about his guilty plea. he talked about agonizing over that decision and not wanting to do this. but when he made that false statement to the fbi on february 1st, that appears to have started a collapse for him. that same day, february 1st, his three lawyers at the time told the judge in his case that they no longer wanted to represent him. so really unusual move at the time. we didnt know why they suddenly wanted to withdraw from representing rick gates. ...

21 tweets in all from palm beach. he has just returned here in the last few hours or so here. the reality is the president was stewing over the weekend. he was sitting at his mar-a-lago resort unable to play golf because of the optics of that. of course, the shooting in parkland, florida just 40 minutes south of mar-a-lago. he did not want to be playing golf as funerals were under way. so he was watching a lot of cable television and was tweeting a lot saturday evening into sunday. white house a...

On the screen. they barely fit on the screen. 21 tweets in all from palm beach. he has just returned here in the last few hours or so here. the reality is the president was stewing over the weekend. he was sitting at his mar-a-lago resort unable to play golf because of the optics of that. of course, the shooting in park dgs lan land, florida just 40 minutes south of mar-a-lago. so he was watching a lot of cable television and was tweeting a lot saturday evening into sunday. white house advisers ...

The weekend. >> a lot of white house aides i talked to were mystified. the advisers see him in realtime, most of them, anyway, as we do. he did get a sense of vindication on friday after he left the white house here, but then he started watching the coverage over the weekend on cable news. he was not out on the golf course on friday or on saturday or on sunday, not until today, of course, out of respect for those shooting victims. and he was sitting around watching coverage, stewing and stewing....

Feed. he seems to have simmering or stewing over this investigation throughout the holiday and again this morning as he is back in washington pointing the ferng at president obama. christian welker is become with us. new tweet this morning, donald trump apparentlys watching whats going on with the investigation. >> reporter: right. as you pointed out it followed that tweet storm in which he was pointing blame throughout the weekend. remember when then candidate trump said that the election proce...

Longer. so, look, i think that had an effect. and what phil said, republicans members should wake up thinking about taxes. as you said, they wish the president would just talk about this. why doesnt he travel the country talking about this instead of stewing inside the oval office and the white house about everything else here. he draws attention to the russia investigation. but i think this is a reminder that democrats here, of course, history would show us that it will be a good year for democ...

Go stew in the corner and youve heard that stewing occur over the last 24 hours with miller and others in the white house. and what the president, i think, is doing, is triangulating a deal with nancy pelosi to bring the democrats to the table in the house to get the bill to the house and the bill is going to be fashioned in a way that it gets to 60 votes that it needs in the senate. he want this is to be a part of his legacy despite what everybody else thinks, what he said about wall, doesnt ma...

Approval rating. if he had that popularity to hold over these lawmakers. but even so, they are expecting sort of a consistent negotiator in the president, someone who is strong and firm in his positions. thats not what they have been getting. >> do we get the sense that the president is distressed by there being a shutdown. it seems like privately we have this reporting that he is stewing over it. he is upset. but then he fires off tweet kind of trolling the protesters and he seems to have cruis...

Might president trump with idle fingers on twitter or stewing in some anger about cable news hes watching over the holiday season react in a way without all of the people around him that normally are in the white house? i think thats the concern here. but i also -- call me naive, wolf, i think president trump if he has learned anything this year has learned that mueller is like a real trip wire here and i -- he seems to me since june every time hes been asked about it, he has really tamped down ...

Happening is that were putting information in written form, not in oral form and apparently the president isnt reading it. yes, theres a serious problem. but the reality is youll not change the man. the agency -- i see it maneuvering here and working as it can to try to work within the presidents personality and inserting his name into briefings and things more often. theyre doing what they can to work with the man in front of them. but the reality is that the man is deeply flawed and deeply unf...
