Lead by example

This phrase is common among managers, teachers and anyone in a professional organization. What example has Donald Trump put forth?

Demeaning minorities, women, people with weight issues seems to be his platform. When challenged on a substantive issue, Mr. Trump instead goes into a diatribe of unrelated stories mostly tearing down his opponent or anyone disagreeing with him, then holding forth on how brilliant he is - especially brilliant on gaming the tax system.

What message does this send to young people, world leaders and the American voting public?

It's OK to behave in a boorish manner, it is ok to cheat the system, it is ok to boast, demean and bully any and everyone who disagrees with you?

World leaders need to show respect, conduct themselves with a degree of decorum, and above all, lead by example. That is why I endorse Hillary Clinton for President. I feel she will treat everyone with respect and carry the burden of the office with dignity.
