You guys are probably right about the pecking order – but I think at this point it’s irrelevant and the man can address his friends however he wants.

Bingo.

Social behaviour and interactions, even between world leaders, changes as the world changes. I have a huge problem with a president whose lying, cheating, fumbling, lack of knowledge, lack of nuance, lack of tact, laziness, etc, and general incompetence has resulted in the deaths of untold innocent civilians and a world that is significantly less safe, less progressive, and less hopeful than it was 10 years ago.
