Donald Trump's wild weekend showed just how abnormal his presidency has become, even if his breaching of conventional decorum has lost the power to shock.

The President, ensconced at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida, spent Saturday and Sunday on Twitter venting at the FBI director he fired, and torching both The New York Times and his own estranged attorney general. He poured praise on his lawyer Michael Cohen amid speculation he could flip on his top client after an FBI raid on his offices carried off some of the closest-held secrets of the Trump Organization and the President's own past.

The President also lashed out at an unidentified "drunk/drugged up loser" as he fulminated about his legal situation and, out of nowhere, when most Americans were enjoying their Sunday afternoon tweeted, "A total witch hunt!"

The weekend's events were a snapshot of a frenzied social media presidency characterized by score settling and bitter attacks on enemies that would have been impossible to imagine before he won the White House.

1. Normal

2. Dragon, the most frightening thing to me is...

that millions of Americans see him as "normal" and don't even question this behavior.

4. we can debate how normal it is but one thing it certainly should NOT be is acceptable

5. Agree 100%. The Republican Party now has zero credibility here and abroad.

Per St. Ronnie's 11th Commandment, we get crickets every day regarding tRump's and his cabinet's behavior. The silence of my senator (McTurtle) is unacceptable and they have no shame as long as they're in office.

With the possible exception of parts of the Department of Justice, Trump has demeaned the branch of the Executive down to cheap reality show status. He doesn't even have a basic understanding of our three branches of government and has zero respect for rule of law. What kind of example is this setting for our youth?

Leaders and businessmen around the globe will be playing this bunch of misfits like a cheap fiddle until they're gone.

3. "has become" ? it's been that way since he was a fucking candidate

hahah, and CNN was THE WORST when it came to normalizing him. people already know fox news is right wing but CNN doing it makes people see it as a non partisan so their normalizing has more influence.

6. He was so pissed that the late Barbara Bush was

the center of attention this weekend in the news. He can't stand it.

7. Would have been impossible to imagine?

9. "What was the name on the brain you brought me for Trumpenstein?"

"Abby, someone. Abby... Normal."
