A Visit To The Trump White House

President Donald Trump likes to be surrounded by people, even in the powerful Oval Office, which since his arrival at the White House has become a kind of main square of his presidency in which assistants, members of the cabinet or someone congregate from relatives who have become his right hand. The new president does not like to be alone.

This is one of the conclusions that emerge from the evening that three Time magazine reporters spent a few days ago, before the storm unleashed by the firing of FBI Director James Comey inside the new White House.

The chronicle of those hours with the president, which included a four-course dinner, serve to reaffirm the perception that he is in a permanent war with the media, whom he accuses of being responsible for the upheaval surrounding his first months in the power and to ignore the issues that he considers are truly relevant.

If everyone now talks about the investigation of the possible links of his campaign with the Russian government, for Trump the real scandal is the alleged follow-up to which his predecessor, Barack Obama, subjected him during the campaign. As the publication points out, the president insists on his accusations despite the fact that Comey himself - among other figures - has flatly denied it.

These are other things that Time found out on his visit.
