It was tradition that presidential candidates release their tax returns. It was tradition that presidents act as model leaders for U.S. citizens, affording the respect to the office, not using the bully pulpit for rants against athletes, movie stars or other persons he or she finds distasteful. I realize supporters like his lack of decorum and diplomacy, but his departure from the norms of office is offensive to more than 1/2 the nation, and more than a few republicans that find his lack of professionalism shameful and humiliating for america in the eyes of the world.  His violation of the traditions of the presidency is far more agregious than not standing for a song, or an representation of the U.S. flag. Leaders act as models by through their actions. He deferred from the draft multiple times and used wealth to avoid serving. Are his words hollow and opportunistic, a way for him to stay in the news and raise controversy, or both?
