He doesn't understand the protocols our great nation has of dignity and respect.

I may disagree with Bob Dole, but I respect him.

Trump shot himself in the foot with that greeting. But,Trump is all about me. This will get major interest from Republican donors big time.

and also the Clintons and Bushes too... and had wondered if Drumpf even bothered. But then outside of Dole being the same party as him, Drumpf basically railed against his kind - "the establishment".

I remember hearing it on NPR and was kinda surprised.
I guess Trump doesn't appreciate his support.

I'm watching Dexter and you might know, he struggles on how to appear normal even though he likes to kill people.

I'm NOT say Trump kills people (he might want to) but Trump needs lessons, although it is probably too late, on how to appear normal and gracious as becomes his office.

Prick.

This clip shows it, right?

There in that short video is the essence of the difference between President Obama and Trumpolini. President Obama has class, grace and manners. tRumpolini is crass, boorish and ill mannered.
