Have you noticed that the media...

refers to him as Mr. Trump? Why is that? How often was President Obama simply called Obama even after he won the election? It happened all the time.

I did a simple Google test using double quotes to see the comparison between the two. The results are staggering.

"Mr Trump" = About 37,100,000 results
"Mr Obama" = About 4,620,000 results

Why does a person as unworthy of respect as Big Con Don the Con-mander in Chief get so much of it while a more deserving person gets so little?
