Something I've noticed under Trump is how a country's leadership does actually affect the behavior of the people under that leadership.

Trump's openly crude behavior is normalizing such behavior amongst the impressionable.

And society will be worse for it for a long time to come.

Yeah people in positions of power and leaders model what acceptable behavior is for the rest of the group.
Yep. One of the things that is appealing about Trump to his voters is that he gives them license to be mean in public.
