Washington (CNN)President Donald Trump is responding to a midterm election that represented a rebuke for his polarizing and aggressive behavior by recommitting to his brazen political style, setting up a turbulent two years to come.

Trump's busy weekend served as a microcosm for his presidency as a whole, as he seethed with insults, launched attacks on key figures who have criticized him and returned to fiery rhetoric on immigration.

In one spat, he unloaded on retired Adm. William McRaven, former head of Special Operations Command, and attacked the military for not having killed al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden before 2011.

He also dismissed a Washington Post report that the CIA believes that Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman ordered the killing of the paper's journalist Jamal Khashoggi, a possible fresh example of the President ignoring his intelligence agencies when it conflicts with his political goals.

1. That isn't going over well out there

His nasty comments toward McMasters were typical for him but really shined the light on what a fool he is. And, of course he lied about going to Arlington last year. Same old shtick. Tired.

2. Only a few steps from Howard Hughes territory

I've said it for a while now.

3. He's seems to have a fondness for 'Rocky Road'.

Perhaps I deserve to be slammed for body shaming but he seems to be carrying some extra fertilizer for that mushroom lately.
