This is absolutely business as usual, but Trump as a business man is just more erratic and harder for those with a vested interest in maintaining existing power structures to control.

He's not as bad as Reagan, but he's a loose cannon and I agree that that makes him dangerous.

calling him "weird" actually worked

I'm sorry, what? Did we see the same election results? Publicly dismissing someone for being weird is alienating to large swathes of the country. Many of us take pride in our weirdness.
