I used to think he needs to work on his manners... but dealing with the monsters he has to, he cannot be polite. He is speaking to them publicly on the level they all speak of him privately.
People can think whatever they wish about others. And they can talk privately about it. But the current President of the United States needs to act and speak in a professional manner "publicly" about what he thinks -- and the current President does not. He acts and speaks like a childish immature person. If I talked publicly about my co-workers like he talks about his co-workers, I'd be fired.
In my opinion, you were right in what you used to think about his manners -- and he indeed still needs major work on his manners. Among other many things.
