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

Posted on 12/05/2017 8:20:49 AM PST by x1stcav

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.

Is Mr Rather employed by any reputable company?

A Marine would never lie. Which is why Rather is a liar.

Trump said in his campaign, he would not reveal his strategy to his enemies.

The press are his and this nations enemy.

So, Dan the press is kept in the dark and chasing its tail on purpose.

You’re irrelevant, that must suck for you. Couldn’t happen to a bigger fraud.

Brilliant people never are normal. In Dan’s world Bach, Mozart, Einstein, Edison, et al would be locked up as “abnormal”.

“...but no president has behaved as Trump has toward the press. “

Dan, you boob. No press has ever been THIS hostile to ANY President. What do you expect from him? -to just roll over and take it???

Dan, would YOU do that? I don’t think so...

And what you thought Obama’s bowing and scraping was normal?
Apologizing for everything American was normal?

Thank God, Dang! In the political arena, “normal” is leftist tyrants violating out rights under color of law, and ostensible “Republic”ans mouthing freedom while behind the scenes opening their legs for the statists and coming up with tower own statist ideas.

Just how long has Dan been asleep?

I remember it was not so long ago that Obama was waging war against the one news outlet he did not like.

And if we want to go back to the 1950s, didn’t President Trump offer to punch a critic that said some harsh words about his daughter?

And if we really want to look back in history we will find most Presidents had issue with newspapers.

So to pretend that for the first time in our history a President has called out the media is ...well uninformed. But then it is Dan Rather we are speaking about and that pretty much describes his entire career.

Go back to sleep Dan.

To be fair, if there’s anyone out there who’s an expert on not acting normal it’s Dan “What’s the Frequency Kenneth” Rather.

I was flipping channels last night and saw Conan with guest Dan Rather.

I kept going to another channel lest I see another idiot liberal on TV....

Hey Dan, still going with the “As a young Marine....”?

Well, if one considers the past four presidents as the measure of "ordinary," then that observation, standing alone, is spot on.

Have Dan type out a report on his IBM Selectric and get back to us.

“don’t know, from one day to the next, what he’s going to do, what he’s going to say”

What does that even mean? I don’t know from one day to the next what my own family members might do or say.
