especially after mid terms. reporter: but there were some in the white house who seemed to indicate they aren t all that happy with the president, like supreme court justice, ruth bader ginsburg, who appeared to turn away when mr. trump spoke at a medal of freedom event. justice ginsburg, glad to see you re feeling great. reporter: it was at that event where the president honored antonin scalia and noted the large family of nine children to his widow. you are very busy, wow. [ laughter ] wow. i always knew i liked him. reporter: and the president is traveling to california this weekend to look at the devastation left from the wildfires in that state. the president has blamed that devastation on poor forest management practices by local officials. they expect the local officials to push back on that. they believe the president is wrong on that, wolf. jim acosta, our chief white house correspondent, reporting tonight from the white house. jim, thanks very, very much.
