we have two bakers and two danielles today. all right, daniellea, trump s vortex of chaos. do you accept that democrats stepped into it a little bit? no. but i would push back it s not been a vortex of chaos since he started. it s just another week in the trump administration. during the government shutdown, speaker pelosi did play the adult in the room and had an ability to stay above it. she got into the name calling a little bit with him. as we all know, he loves it. and that s i think he s baiting her and trying to get her back into it. yeah, but the difference is i think she can pull back. i think it s okay to occasionally engage with him, but as long as you can step out of the mud, i think that s fine. i think he has a problem of not knowing how to do that, but i have full faith in nancy pelosi that she will not get completely sucked into this. danielle, the other on one hand i understand what the president is doing, trying to i think he s trying to drive a
