But that may be part of the problem- he may not have been "actually elected", which is more sickening and scary.  And as far as those processes you think people should be following- he hasn't allowed proper processes, protocol, nor procedures himself.  To expect that he should be extended such courtesy when he takes so many wrong and dangerous steps is unreasonable.  His touted "modern presidency" means that staffers now have to evolve their methods to adapt, so that his inexperience, ineffectiveness, unprofessional-ism and worse can be dealt with.
