In 15 years teaching American politics, Paul Hamilton has never seen anything like it.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m surprised by how little he has changed from the primaries,\u201d the associate professor in the Department of Political Science said of President-elect Donald Trump. \u201cHe doesn\u2019t seem to have absorbed much of the sort of manners of the office.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou would think meeting Obama, touring the Whitehouse, nominating people for Cabinet, that all of those things would have sobered his mind, but it doesn\u2019t appear it has.\u201d<\/p>\n
Hamilton watched with interest Wednesday as Trump officially addressed the media for the first time since winning the election Nov. 8. Trump\u2019s acrimonious relationship with the media continued as he called out certain reporters by name and wouldn\u2019t take questions from CNN, calling the network \u201cfake news.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThe testiest I\u2019ve ever seen Obama or Bush was nothing compared to that,\u201d Hamilton said. \u201cIt was astonishing. He seems to treat the press as an irritant, which they can be, but he can\u2019t treat them that way.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
