That's hard to say, because one of Trump's big selling points is that he isn't "business as usual" or that he isn't a politician and he doesn't kiss ass and so on and so forth.  You can't elect a guy who is completely against the grain because he will be and do things in a radically different way and then get upset when he isn't regarded in a manner befitting the tradition of the past and the position.

We wanted something so different, and now we have it, so it's a little naive to wonder why things aren't going the way they "used to be" or they way they are "supposed to be."  Then again, I'm not too up to date on my UN speeches.  It's entirely possible Bush or Obama told the UN that his administration was pretty much the best one ever and everyone agreed and applauded rather than laughed/groaned.

The short of it is "That's not how it's supposed to be" is probably the same thing the UN leaders were thinking when America elected Trump to be president.  We wanted this.  Not sense pining for tradition now.
