Openly extorting corporations.
Hosting leaders so they can give him gifts and kiss his ass.

"Are we really not allowed to care about rapid cultural change?"
You can care about whatever you want. God knows, you'll certainly tweet about it. But we have a constitution, and we have immigration laws. If you want to change either, go convince your fellow Americans and stop complaining.
And by the way, America has endured cultural changes for its entire existence! We are a melting pot of different cultures. That's part of what makes this country so damn awesome.
