Two and a half years into the Donald Trump presidency, Americans are used to Trump posting off-the-rails tweets. But Thursday morning still stood out.
Trump body-shamed Sen. Elizabeth Warren while using a slur to demean her, mistakenly tagged a random retired teacher who is not of fan of his while insulting her fellow 2020 contender Pete Buttigieg, expressed confusion about when his presidential campaign began, joked about illegally staying in power beyond a second term, brazenly gaslighted about his indebtedness to banks, and said he thinks hell win in Minnesota in 2020 simply because a city council there decided to stop saying the Pledge of Allegiance before meetings.
All of this happened before 8 am.
Each of these tweets, by themselves, wouldve been highly abnormal public statements coming from any other president. For Trump, they are not. Still, the volume with which he posted them on Thursday morning was remarkable.
Heres a breakdown of Trumps odd tweets on Thursday, in the order in which he posted them.

It is right there, front and center, in everybody's face, but 40% pretend it's not happening.
