Donald Trumps incoming White House press secretary Sean Spicer is whining that Trump is not getting the respect that he deserves. It is clear that the president-elect and his team are very upset about a perceived lack of respect from the media and the American people.
In an interview with The Hill, Spicer moaned about Trump not getting the respect that he deserves from the press, Theres some positive aspects here and there, but largely it still continues to not treat him with the respect that he deserves. I think for a lot of folks inside the beltway, and inside pundit-world, they dont fully appreciate the understanding that he has of where the American people are.
They continue to mock him in ways, when it frankly just shows the lack of understanding of that they have of where the American people are and what they think.
Spicers latest comments come one week after he complained to ABCs This Week about Trump being mocked, Everything he does right now, he gets he speaks for the head of Sprint, gets 5,000 jobs moved from abroad. And everyone starts to mock him. Oh, those jobs were already announced. They werent. The sales jobs have been a previous announce. These jobs were coming from abroad to America. And instead of trying to mock him or undermine him, its time that people started to give him credit for actually getting things done.
There has been very little mocking of Trump in the media. In terms of television, the bulk of the coverage has been soft on the president-elect. When Trump gets mocked, it is for his vain, petty, and thin-skinned habit of lying about things big and small.

So, yeah, we're giving Trump the respect he deserves.

This is a tiny person with tiny hands who has no understanding of what he just stepped in!

Trump came to fame with his birther nonsense and expects to be treated with respect.
They're gonna be disappointed a lot in the months to follow.

We should lead by his example and show him the same amount of respect and deference he showed President Obama.

(14,855 posts)Narcissistic personality disorder is a mental disorder in which people have an inflated sense of their own importance, a deep need for admiration and a lack of empathy for others. But behind this mask of ultraconfidence lies a fragile self-esteem that's vulnerable to the slightest criticism.
