Letter: Suddenly rudeness is a concern for Mr. Trump?

Trump calling others rude is rich.  He is the one who in public statements, Tweets, and campaign rallies is rude, condescending, and untruthful.  

He laments that reporters’ questions are negative.  Perhaps the following questions would better suit his imperial persona:  What is your favorite color?  Can you tell us which Tweet you are proudest of?  Please, Mr. President, can you tell us when the military parade will occur?  How high should our border wall be?  Will you be telling us soon about the new paint scheme for Air Force One?
