It was supposed to be a quiet Saturday in Trumpland. An administration official told The Washington Post’s Robert Costa that the team had expected the weekend to be calm and relaxed after a week of ups (a modestly well received joint Congressional address) and downs (more revelations that top administration officials, this time Attorney General Jeff Sessions, failed to disclose meetings with Russians). On Saturday morning, several White House advisors woke up to a tweetstorm they did not expect : Donald Trump, had spiraled into an unprecedented—for him even—Twitter rant enumerating conspiracies against him while providing zero evidence to back them up. The continuing saga of some of his closest advisers’ ties to Russia seemed to be too much for Trump, on the way to Mar-A-Lago for a weekend confab with G.O.P. donors.

In the early hours of Saturday, he got to tweeting.

This time, Trump accused his critics of hypocrisy. “ The same Russian Ambassador that met Jeff Sessions visited the Obama White House 22 times, and 4 times last year alone,” he tweeted. Trump went even further and said that the administration of his predecessor, Barack Obama, wiretapped phones in Trump Tower before the election, citing no evidence for the allegation. (His aides did not either, according to the Times.) The Obama-Trump dynamic has always been steeped in conspiracy—indeed, Trump began his political career by espousing the false theory that Obama was not a natural-born citizen—but the Saturday morning tweetstorm, possibly prompted by an unsubstantiated Breitbart report, brought the contentiousness to a new level.

“This is McCarthyism!” he tweeted, again at no point offering evidence on his own:

Obama wasn’t alone on the receiving end of Trump’s ire. The president, ever himself, rolled in a tweet about his Celebrity Apprentice successor as well. Arnold Schwarzenegger, who had left the show and blamed Trump for making the brand toxic to viewers, had actually been “fired by his bad (pathetic) ratings, not by me. Sad end to great show”.

One could only imagine the ego crash that Trump must have felt this week, which began with his speech before a joint session of Congress, giving hope, for the first time, to Americans eager to see Trump act in ways more traditionally presidential. He, too, seemed to bask in the glory, telling Congressional leaders that he predicted “tremendous success” moving forward.

But after Sessions recused himself from the Russia investigations, Trump, reported Costa, was furious and told his aides that Sessions should not have done so and that he, the Department of Justice, and the White House should have stood behind his Attorney General against the “bull.” If Trump had hoped to escape further scrutiny over his Russia problems, compounded by further reports that son-in-law Jared Kushner also met with the Russian Ambassador during the transition, it appears that the subtrobpical sanctuary of Mar-A-Lago may not be a safe haven.
