President Obama attacked Donald Trump in his address to the Canadian Parliament on Wednesday, breaking the unwritten rule of American politics that it ends at the water's edge. This is the second time he has done so in just two months, as he recently ripped into Trump while in Japan. Is this inappropriate, or is this custom of decorum outdated?

Obama has no "decorum."
He is a scorched earth campaigner.
Expect everything during this campaign.

That had nothing to decorum. He is just that type of person. Even now George W Bush doesn't respond to attacks from anyone. So that tells you this is the type person he is. Donald Trump is a different animal that has to be dealt with unconventionally.

So childish and to be expected from someone who doesn't realize he's more of a narcissist than the man he criticized.

Absolutely nothing this man says surprises me. His priorities while the world is aflame amaze me.

Trump has the Democrat target on his back he will be mentioned any time anyone of relative importance from the Democrat Party speaks. When you mention him 23 times in the faux Democrat Banghazi report, and he had nothing to do with politics at the time of the tragedy brought on by incompetence of the administration, the story and narrative is plain to see. Politics over real life issues.
