Does Trump know what's going on with the shutdown?


The answer to the question posed in the subject line is:  no, of course not.

That is emphasized in the excerpt I've extracted from the following Washington Post article:

‘In the White House waiting’: Inside Trump’s defiance on the longest shutdown ever

"Only after Christmas did administration officials begin realizing the full scale of the logistical problems a prolonged shutdown would cause. Aides said Trump has been largely uninterested in the minutiae of managing government agencies and services."
Not only that, he isn't interested in the minutiae of the millions of people being hurt by his shutdown.  And it is only going to get worse.
