44. No, it's not. Not at all.

First of all, Trump is about to face something he has NEVER dealt with in his life: powerful woman who is not afraid of him, has a significant measure of control and power over him, and is not competing with him for something. This is not going to be pleasant for him at all.

Second, the shutdown won't in any way "hijack Pelosi's big moment." Her return as Speaker is huge, no matter what else is going on and whether or not folks throw up a lot of bells and whistles around it. Moreover "big moment" is not her acenscion - it will last for the next two years.

Not only isn't this "right up his alley," it's not in his alley at all and, in fact, is an alley he's never even been in and has no idea how to navigate.
