From my understanding he was meeting with him to assess or strategize on how to win back the House. You are correct though; why divulge or make your plans known to your enemy. This is one great fault of Trump's not selecting or confiding in the best people.
@libertybele IMNSHO,Trumps biggest failing is also his best feature. He is NOT a career politician. He honestly thinks that these people can be reasoned with because they want what is best for America themselves.
What they REALLY want is what is best FOR themselves.
He still thinks some of them can be reasoned with and does not see that the left is destroying America.
I have no doubt he will be seeing things clearly within a few more months,but it is a damn shame he didn't see this right before year two of his term.
The truth is we are now governed by America's enemies and their employees.
