"What just happened" is now a common question people ask themselves after hearing the President of the United States go off script.

President Trump attempted to hold a press conference highlighting an executive order on his infrastructure plan on Tuesday, however, violence that erupted between racist protesters and counter-protestors in Charlottesville, Virginia this weekend overshadowed the announcement. When the press started asking questions, Trump went off.

We don't say that lightly. Trump went off on the press like he has never done before, and the internet struggled to deal with this new level of normalcy.

Oh and after the press conference, Trump used the opportunity to brag about the greatness of his winery, which is located in Charlottesville. Real classy.

Even John Kelly, Trump's new Chief of Staff looked at a loss during his remarks.
