Dan Rather: Trump's Behavior 'Is Not Normal'
Newsmax ^ | 12/5/17 | Dennis Van Tine/AP

President Donald Trump’s behavior is out of the ordinary for a president, according to veteran news reporter Dan Rather Monday night on the TBS talk show "Conan."

"A lot of young people, well, people of all ages don’t know, from one day to the next, what he’s going to do, what he’s going to say," host Conan O’Brien said.

"It is important for us to remember this is not normal," Rather said.

He noted that some presidents have not liked the press, but no president has behaved as Trump has toward the press. "We’ve never had one that steadily, out of his own mouth, waged such an unrelenting campaign against the press," he said.

Dan, that is why we love him.

He’s not “your kind of normal.”

Naturally, missing from Dan Rather’s observation is that we’ve never had a media so unrelentingly hostile towards, biased against, and actively resistant to the President. I suspect that those behaviors might explain some of the President’s attitude towards the media.

Like Dan I’dRatherNot is an example of normal? He has the experience to diagnose? I guess based on his behavior.

It's the New Normal, get used to it.
That is the same message you and your ilk tried to sell us two years ago.

Just like Rush said the other day, slowly but surly they are trying to get this guy back into the mainstream.
