Erm, no. It was a madman screaming at a journalist, saying he won an election he didn't, going red (orange?) in the face, calling the journalist "crooked" and "darling", calling every media outlet "crooked", and then walking out.

This isn't how democratic leaders communicate, it's demagoguery. A demagogue is an unaccountable leader. Demagoguery is the language strategy demagogues use to avoid accountability. Spread conspiracy, shift attention, blame, attack, storm out if necessary. They are never cognitively responsible.
