As the dust settles from Saturday’s Twitter mess, in which President Donald Trump melted down over unsubstantiated allegations that Barack Obama had wiretapped his phones during the election (while simultaneously attacking Arnold Schwarzenegger), the damage done to the upcoming week may be incalculable. Trump’s rant, which included accusations that Obama was the new “Nixon/Watergate”, called the inquiries into his campaign’s relationship with the Russians “McCarthyism”, and slammed Schwarzenegger for his bad ratings on The Apprentice, was apparently done out of the reach of Reince Priebus, who was reportedly supposed to accompany the president to Mar-a-Lago this weekend only to be removed from the flight manifest at the last moment, per a directive from the White House. (Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump, the only other people who could stop him from tweeting, were traveling with him but apparently did not stop Trump.) And as he spent the weekend watching more Fox and Friends, the idea that Trump could be professional—a tantalizing hope after last week’s address to Congress—was smashed once again.

The White House had hoped to use the positive momentum of last week, after Trump gave a moving, somber, adult speech to the nation, as a way to mitigate the controversial rollout of a new, updated travel ban. The forthcoming executive order is expected to address several of the legal issues that derailed its predecessor. Still, the order is expected to accomplish the same feats—even if the language is designed to circumvent the “very technical issues” that doomed its original incarnation. “Fundamentally, you’re still going to have the same basic policy outcome for the country,” Trump advisor Stephen Miller told the Washington Post.

The more considered travel ban was supposed to be the first order of business of the new, more mature White House that Trump signaled with his grown-up address to Congress. But now that Trump’s presidential demeanor has fallen to pieces, his ability to execute the order with any measure of self-possession has been thrown into question. He also threw several of the controversies he’d hoped to hide back into the spotlight, the imbroglio over Jeff Session’s meetings with the Russian ambassador chief among them.

The travel ban’s reintroduction, which was supposed to happen last Wednesday, was pushed to Monday after the administration decided to bask in the afterglow of Trump’s well-addressed speech. (“We want the (executive order) to have its own ‘moment’,” a senior official told CNN. But somewhere between Wednesday and Monday came the revelation that as a senator, Sessions had met twice with Russian ambassador Sergey Kislyak, pushing Sessions, now the Attorney General to recuse himself from any investigations into Russia’s involvement with the 2016 election. (Trump was reportedly furious that Sessions had recused himself, dressing down his White House staff for not doing enough to protect him.) Add to that the other scandalous explosions echoing from the West Wing—Jared Kushner’s meeting with Kislyak and Mike Pence’s use of a private email account as governor of Indiana—and it was no wonder that hours after being kicked off the plane, Bannon flew down to Mar-a-Lago to assuage the president. After all, he only works like a normal president if he has his minders.
