Donald Trump’s Guide to Presidential Etiquette
By THE EDITORIAL BOARD | MAY 25, 2018

...

So, for the fourth time in a year, we’ve compiled a list of Mr. Trump’s more egregious transgressions. These items don’t represent disputes about policy, over which reasonable people may disagree. They simply serve to catalog what Paul Ryan, Mitch McConnell and all the other Trump-supporting Republicans in Congress and across America, through their silence, have now blessed as behavior befitting a president of the United States.

We find this guide a helpful way to avoid growing numb to what is so abnormal about this presidency, and to remind ourselves that a day may yet come when dignity and decency will matter again, even, perhaps, to Mr. McConnell and his fellow hypocrites.

If you are president, you may now:

- U­se your unsecured personal cellphone to call, among others, media personalities who parrot your talking points — and when you’re told this is a security risk, refuse to stop, saying that would be “too inconvenient”

- Say that professional athletes who don’t stand during the national anthem perhaps “shouldn’t be in the country”

....

3. That's some list, alright.

It would be far easier, and be a much shorter list, if the NYT described things Trump has done correctly since he's taken office. You could fit that list on the head of a pin.
