Which is the problem here. Trump isn't in the business world anymore, he's in the political world where things are different and you have to answer for your actions.

People elected him for what he is, so I'm going to continue to expect him to act like a businessperson. There are definitely very valid criticisms for Trump and his behavior, but I feel like getting mad at this is super reaching. If any other politician did it, no one would care.

Which is where you are wrong. In fact in any other country this would be an even bigger deal. State leaders are also diplomats and they're supposed to act the part. If any other leader would do this everyone would be shocked. When Trump does it, nobody is shocked and that is exactly the problem. Being rude on a diplomatic mission is just absolutely out of line. It's just another incident of Trump proving that he has no place on the international political stage.



If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.
