Mark Wilson—Getty Images by [Zeke Miller](https://time.com/author/zeke-j-miller/) ## Zeke Miller Feb 16, 2017 7:05 PM UTC The campaign is over. Long live the campaign. President Trump will return to the campaign trail Saturday after barely four weeks in office, holding a rally in Melbourne, Florida. Trump formally filed the paperwork for a re-election campaign earlier this year in a standard move that allowed him to continue fundraising for himself and the Republican National Committee, but his return to the stump is just the latest sign he won’t play by the same rules as his predecessors. Trump _loved_ the campaign trail; the adoration of the crowds, the free-flowing speeches; the kids dressed as mini-Trumps. He’s missed it, and is looking to recapture some of that energy this weekend. Meanwhile in Washington, the sense of tumult is [pervasive](http://time.com/magazine/)—except in the West Wing, where Chief Strategist Steve Bannon, Chief of Staff Reince Priebus, and Senior Advisor Jared Kushner all proclaim that everything is doing fine. “It’s not chaos,” Bannon told TIME. “It’s anti-chaos.” They argue that damaging leaks are emanating from those spurned by the Trump administration and that Trump’s agenda is on course. There is some truth to that. Trump campaigned on upending the status quo in D.C. and he’s certainly done that. But the internal drama and external worries have even allies worried. Worries about Trump on Russia. Trump loses his pick for Labor Secretary.
