So they disagree with him. Big deal. That's not a reason to snub them.

Makes you look immature. You take it on the chin and make jokes about them over-reacting while they're eating McDonald's in the White House, not pout and whine about it.

Hello? He is supposed to be the President and not a part of the cast of 90210.

Not surprised at all. He is a petty little man.
