Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsShould Donald Trump be addressed as "Mr President"?
Is the White House a symbol for the People?
King Donald?
Why does he continue to erode our democracy, every time he states that the election is "rigged" or that there is "election fraud"?
He is now saying that he won in a landslide. At last count, he had lost the election by over 6 million votes.
Is he playing with all his marbles?
Should Republicans address this problem?
Should Democrats speak out more? Or would it just fan the flames?

(8,445 posts)I cringe every time I hear someone say "The President". I wish they'd just call him "Trump". He doesn't act like a President of the U.S. should act. He's never deserved the respect of the title.

So many more meaningful things to focus on than how that dipshit is addressed. Remember Jan 20 is coming

(3,334 posts)I must have been raised differently than some of you. Also in the army, it did not matter what you thought of an officer, you saluted him and called the sir.

(2,574 posts)My respect is something that must be earned, and not given away mindlessly because of how someone told me I have to be.
Trump is an evil man, a cruel fascist who is at this very moment attempting to end democracy in America, overthrow the United States government, and illegitimately appoint himself Supreme Dictator.
Trump has done absolutely nothing else but earn my contempt. I have the same amount of respect for Trump that I have for Adolf Hitler.
The United States, and the world, are much better off without them.
If Trump was a platoon commander in country, during the war in Vietnam, the soldiers under his command would have fragged him before his insanity based incompetence and sociopathic disregard for their safety got any more of them needlessly killed.
Fuck that spoiled rotten rich brat anti-American idiot psychopath narcissist douchebag. He belongs in prison for what he has done to our people and our country.

(22,236 posts)Then starting a few months ago, they all started referring to him as "the president" or "President Trump." That really bothers me. WTF happened to cause them to start giving him that kind of "presidential" respect all of a sudden?

Yes Mr. President.
Indeed Mr. President.
Of course Mr. President.
Smirking the whole damn time. From now until the man is on his death bed.
How do we feel today Mr. President.
Sic Speaker Pelosi on him for 5 minutes and he'd be hauled out in a straightjacket. I never saw anyone open up a pile a whoopass with a smile on her face as good as Speaker Pelosi.

(22,035 posts)I've NEVER referred to Trump with the honorific of the office. Never.
Just Trump. That's plenty ugly enough.
By the way, I also don't call him any of the wonderful nicknames we've seen over the past 4 years. It's just not my thing.

(65,010 posts)...I referred to it as PINO. President in name only.
I would never actually use president as a title of respect with that toad.
