Ever since the name Donald Trump started doing the rounds in the elections leading up for the presidency of the United States of America, not a day has gone by with people feeling bad, uncomfortable - if not shocked and 'disgraced'. Every time he says something, official or unofficial, which is mostly through twitter, the media all over the world goes abuzz with speculation and analysis.
Perhaps the main reason for this sort of distaste for Trump rises from our personal preference of a 'public mask' - a sort of refined self that we put on and expect others to do likewise, when in public and especially if holding some demanding and challenging responsibility. We feel we need to dress in a particular way, speak in a polite and refined manner, behave courteously, not let anything that upsets others surface even if it means putting on a smile when under our breath we use the most degrading profanity. Well, Donald Trump does not have such a self! He is blatantly his one self, even in public. What he feels he says, he does not polish his language to 'suit' the world taste. What he is thinks is important is carried out, irrespective of whether other world leaders agree with him or not. More than his words and actions, it is his care a two hoots about accepted and established norms of the president of the USA that irks most people. The former is only a bonus!
