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.

We'll just have to agree to disagree thing. If Macron or May did the same, I don't think it would have made the news at all. I just don't see how anyone can be outraged over that clip. It's far too passive to get fussed about.
