Despite the fact the PSA comes in the form of a cartoon and is delivered in bemusing tone unique to Donald, it doesn’t detract from the significance of the message.

In fact, it highlights the few simple rules everyone should adhere to when it comes to the workplace in a manner accessible to, well, pretty much everyone.
