Trying to follow the news can be so confusing sometimes. I was told — by someone in the meeting — that “there is no longer a nuclear threat from North Korea.” Now this. How can there be a “lack of progress” on something that was completed? Please advise. https://t.co/nQNCU7pbU9 pic.twitter.com/Qt3Te7zuL9

A good maxim might be: don’t contribute to the discontinuous reality in which he dwells. Reframing it as “in public/in private” makes it sound like normal politics, in which there is always such a gap. This is different. This is, “Oceania had always been at war with Eastasia.’
