Donald Trump himself set the tone for his term at that first meeting. While I wanted to believe that he would value the dignity of the office and move beyond his name-calling - «Crazy Nancy,» «Crooked Hillary» - it quickly became clear that the man in the Oval Office was even worse than the one we had seen on the campaign trail. So many things with Trump were theatrics. He invariably tried to make the moment about him or his insults.
