Same "willfull ignorance" conclusion for me after listening last night to this 1/2 hr. audio:

Impressed with the NYT publisher's eloquence here and glad he is confronting Trump with the consequences of his attacks on the free press. https://t.co/4YOwha7NLc

where Sulzberger describes his conversation with Trump and the backstory to that, after his reporters finished this interview

According to @time, US intelligence briefers will do anything to get through to Trump. Once they put a Statue of Liberty scale replica inside a mock-up of N. Korean nuke site to emphasize its vast size. https://t.co/kMkcWlW7rU pic.twitter.com/KPLWKgzDIl

Ashamed of his real schedule:

White House has decided that some bad press - very light schedule! - is better than keeping accessible records of his meetings. https://t.co/lWsQycZ7aL

If they were loud and proud, they'd put "Fox watching time" and "Twitter time".

Plus, it would counter his tweeted spin that he was responsible for this and that and the other thing, best president evah. Really takes the traditional role of spinmeister/bully pulpit to another level.
