Trump's "trapped in a fantasy world" where "he is doing a great job, he's fantastic, the economy's great," says John Harwood. "His psychological disfigurement will not allow him to feel the voters' pain."

if Trump ejects journalists from the WH on grounds that they reported "fake news," and the news in question came from Vance under grant of anonymity on a WH-arranged call, the journalists should explain that to the public without apology. Lies like that deserve no protection.
