Facebook response that sums it all up. ✅

I think Obama set the standard for dealing with disrespect. If he could handle it then any POTUS should be able to. And that language is not common in business. I can’t remember the last time I heard any businessman talk like Trump. Yes, I’ve heard bad language but I’ve never heard a businessman talk like Trump. When has anyone heard a business leader call someone stupid during a meeting or call someone a loser? Sometimes I feel like the election of Obama and now Trump have made normal reasonable people act like folks I don’t recognize.

Crazy narcissists. I worked for one. He called himself a job creator. Never cared if anyone quit. Awful.

Felt bad for his kids.

Downtrodden, ignorant people must be okay with the idea that being rich means you get to be a selfish, arrogant, prick. Why do they dream that someday they would themselves like to be that way?

If they act and talk like gangsters then the law should treat them that way. Is it legal to indict a sitting mobster since he certainly doesn't act and talk like a president?
