He does not show compassion or respect to people he can not use for promoting his image and hubris. Do not expect him to change his methods. Every time his speech writers prepare a literate and coherent message, he can not deliver it without rambling off script about his unique greatness.
He treats his subordinates and critics with disdain. He does not realize or accept that our president is required to be a servant of the people, not an arrogant ruler.
