And still, they complain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Not about real suffering or injustice \u2014 but about petty inconveniences: meals not covered by the White House kitchen, a harmless quirk of their spouse, or the imagined unfairness of a world that has already given them more than most.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This kind of person doesn\u2019t just seem ungrateful \u2014 they&nbsp;<strong>radiate entitlement<\/strong>.
