What a pity we have elected a man who routinely insults world leaders through his execrable social behavior.

In some cases, their parents are quite well-behaved and very polite in public, so it could just be their own ugly nature. Others, however, come from a long line of ill-behaved people. I suspect that Donald Trump is one of the latter, and was never even taught how to behave in public. Still, you could be right and it could be a non-hereditary birth defect of some kind.
He's not a quick learner, either, so it's too late now for him to learn social skills, I'm sure. It would be best if he were not in such a high office. His lack of manners and civility will be harmful to our nation, I have no doubt.

(146,329 posts)Etiquette benefits the person who displays good manners, as well as those he or she deals with. That's the important lesson. By behaving properly, even a narcissist can be seen in a good light. A narcissist with bad manners, though, is naked, with all of his shortcomings visible.
Learning proper behavior and etiquette is an essential part of anyone's education, even a narcissist's.
