President of the United States Donald Trump during his time at the high office allowed the blunders of protocol diplomatic etiquette, as well as ridiculous reservations when pronouncing geographical names. This was shared with the media by unnamed sources close to the head of state. So, several times in the first year of his presidency, Trump rushed to call Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe in the middle of the day, forgetting that in Tokyo at this moment a deep night. Head of the White House assistants regularly pointed to this problem, but it arose "on a permanent basis". "It was not easy for him to explain that the leader of the country, who is about 80-85 years old, is not always awake at 10:30 am or at 11:00 local time," the Politico newspaper quotes the ex-representative of the National Security Council.

"When he wants to call someone (. ), he is extremely impulsive in such cases. And he does not think about how much time it is now, "the source said.. Meanwhile, the catastrophe with calls at an inopportune time is only part of the presidential blunders. According to the interlocutors of the publication, once Trump, studying the map of South Asia before the meeting with the Indian prime minister in 2017, mistakenly described the country of Nepal as "nipple". - nipple), and also joked over the similarity of the name of the state of Bhutan with the English word "button", which means "button".

When the president does not comply with the protocol, this is a sign of disrespect, "said former State Department spokesman under the Clinton and Obama administration Wendy Sherman.

In turn, supporters of Trump call attention to such incidents bloated, noting that all presidents learn from mistakes and that the current head of state has never been a fan of subtle etiquette.
