Isn't it an unwritten rule that just out of common courtesy the incoming president STFU about

[doc03]

the current president until he at least gets sworn in himself.

[HeartachesNhangovers]

1. The incoming president doesn't seem to care

about the written rules, so I guess the unwritten ones don't much matter.

[angstlessk]

3. Welcome to DU...betcha

you been hankerin for friendly faces!

[HeartachesNhangovers]

4. Thank you!

[niyad]

7. welcome to du.

[etherealtruth]

2. tRump is devoid of graciousness and "class"

He is the personification of ignorance, vulgarity, boorishness and crassness. I expect nothing other than ignorance, vulgarity, boorishness and crassness and I have seen nothing other than these behaviors

[marybourg]

5. Common courtesy?

Plenty common, but no courtesy.

[LaydeeBug]

6. Hon, they don't give a shit about the WRITTEN RULES, let alone the unwritten ones.

That is why we have to fight them at every turn.

I am not doing business with people whom I know voted for Twitler.

I have cooled my relationships with these people.

I know it's not 'traditional' but we are at war, whether some acknowledge it or not.

[doc03]

8. It just blows my mind how so many people fell for his bullshit. I am starting to

think about 46% of this country are mentally ill. He not only criticizes everything Obama does he can't keep his mouth shut about China
Israel, Japan or anything. I couldn't stand that SOB 30 years ago, my mother would turn over in her grave if she knew that asshole
got elected, she hated him.

[Generator]

19. Don't you start to think

At least so an so DIED before seeing this Trump nightmare happen. It certainly has crossed my mind. And it's so damn wearing for us that have to live it!

[OldRedneck]

34. Well, just remember . . .

. . . if you plot the measure of intelligence, the result is a bell curve. Which means half the population is below average.

[LaydeeBug]

37. Only 27% of our nation elected him...Half of us didn't even vote. nt

[uponit7771]

24. +1, anyone who "settles" a 25mil $ cause for defrauding college students skips the whole law thing

[niyad]

9. "courtesy" is a word with which the apricot asshole is completely unfamiliar.

[liberal N proud]

10. Previous President Elects had at least some class, this one is just an ass!

[AngryAmish]

16. W had class? No, he was untouchable. Worse than Trump.

Trump is a chimp.

[doc03]

20. I remember his people talking about people removing the W from typewriters

and other stuff, but I think W had the courtesy to STFU himself.

[spanone]

11. ego man knows more than the generals....and has little common courtesy

12. the Clown King has his head too far up his ass to know this.

[Different Drummer]

29. I've been referring to him as Chief Tweeting Bull...

but your mention of The Clown King made me think of another nickname I'm going to use for him...Pennywise.

[Bill USA]

36. we'll have opportunities galore to come up with more names for the coprophagous Fraudster.....

[malaise]

13. Rules d not apply to Groper Don the Con

M$Greedia won't even call him on it

[TexasMommaWithAHat]

14. He doesn't care about protocol

or tradition or decency.

[Wounded Bear]

15. Our president-elect....

[stevenleser]

40. Please, Rodney and even this character he played had more class in his little finger

than Trump has in his whole body.

[mopinko]

17. pretty sure it is a written rule, if you look at it all.

nowhere is there a provision of powers to the peotus, nowhere is there a curtailment of the current potus' power.
so, yeah, it is written. or omitted, but still....

[milestogo]

18. He has no courtesy, common or otherwise.

[bucolic_frolic]

21. McConnell trampled on Obama's Supreme Court pick

so what do you expect? They are jumping the gun deliberately.

[Eleanors38]

22. We got unwritten rules; he got twitter.

[3catwoman3]

23. I have coined a neologism just...

...for him - CRASSHOLE.

[Different Drummer]

30. Good one! n/t

[TeamPooka]

25. Trump has no idea how to be President. It's going to be a disaster for the country.

[Different Drummer]

31. We can't say we weren't warned. n/t

[paleotn]

26. And we expected any less? I didn't.

That worthless piece of trash has no courtesy, common or not.

[kairos12]

27. Drump believes no rules apply to him.

[humbled_opinion]

28. He doesn't give a crap about anything

or anyone, prepare yourself he is about to try and blow this whole thing apart..

[Xipe Totec]

32. A Little pep talk and advice for the Orange One:

[OldRedneck]

33. In normal times, yes.

However, in this case, the incoming president is an industrial-grade, world-class asshole.

[baldguy]

35. It has been said before: there's nothing "common" about the shitgibbon.

This is not a compliment, BTW.

[guillaumeb]

38. Common courtesy and Donald Trump in one sentence? eom

[smirkymonkey]

39. Yes, thank you!

I wish that fat, ugly orange shitgibbon would shut his piehole until he's officially inaugurated. And even then I wish he'd shut it.

[iluvtennis]

41. yep that the etiquette. but as we know TraitorzTrump thinks he is the be all and the end all and..

...rules don't apply to him. Whast an asshat
