Trump's Parents Failed to Teach Him the Basic Rules of Etiquette.

[MineralMan]

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

1. Its both nurture and nature.

For many being an arrogant ass is inherent, Trump is a prime example.

5. Possibly. Quite a number of wealthy people I know

believe themselves to be not bound by standard rules of 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.

8. He turns 71 in June. He's NOT going to learn.

10. Yes, I'm sure his behavior patterns are fixed.

More reasons to remove him from that office, in my opinion.

2. I always get the feeling they didn't like him very much either. Teen years sent away to Military

school to straighten him out. I can believe it. I think he was an incorrigible and this was the only way they could handle him.

4. I imagine he's been pretty unlikeable for a long, long time.

3. And so did his "military" prep school

[MineralMan]

7. Some such schools are actually quite good at turning out

people who understand how to behave. Others, however, produce arrogant, ill-mannered graduates. I'm not familiar with the one Trump attended.

6. The still haven't fill the Protocol position.....

[MineralMan]

9. Yes, I know. It's a terrible lapse in judgment.

So much of diplomacy is a matter of manners, really. The tradition is ancient and still important.

11. I never knew he had parents

I thought he hatched out of some sort of decrepit hell hole some where.

[SHRED]

12. He's just a shitty person

Most likely un-trainable.

[MineralMan]

13. A very bad trait for a President, I think.

[SHRED]

14. The worst

15. I'd abbreviate it to: Trump's Parents Failed to Teach Him___________ (fill in the blank) nt

[enough]

16. He does this on purpose. He is signaling to the world that he has no respect. NT

17. a narcissist has no need for etiquette

[MineralMan]

18. Actually, narcissists have even more use for it than others.

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.

19. Here is a link to an article about what he was like as a child

"Confident. Incorrigible. Bully: Little Donny was a lot like candidate Donald Trump"
