today. we had one half of one third of government, according to john baynor. we saw democrats able to use leverage they normally wouldn't have by having one half of one third of government. it's a really surprising turn of events but all created essentially by the president by walking away from a deal that the house and senate were going to support and saying in advance, you can call it the trump shutdown. he defined the terms of this before we even started. >> so, maria, do you think the president is at all reflecting on mistakes made, what you learned from this experience. you heard nancy pelosi who said, you know, he's demonstrating that perhaps he doesn't have a good grasp of how things are going, but perhaps this was a teaching moment for the president. >> i want to say that i hope so, but we know who this president is and how he works. and reflection in terms of past bad deeds or mistakes, it doesn't exist within his persona. he has said it himself.
