John Brennan's got style. He only refers to Il Douche as "mr. trump, never "President."

He really hates that orange asshole. BTW, couldn't the Senate override Dotard's veto & keep the government going or at least open it again if it's too late for an override vote?

1. That is the normal and proper form of address for the US president

Idiots on DU used to freak out over “Mr. Obama” in news articles. That IS the proper form of address for the US president established by George Washington to emphasize the lack of titles of nobility in the US.

The ignorance around that basic fact is appalling.

Readers occasionally express concern about articles referring to the president as “Mr. Trump.”

They believe it is disrespectful to call him “Mr.” rather than “President” Trump, and some suggest that our doing so is a sign of political bias. “It’s President Trump, not Mr. Trump,” wrote one reader who uses the name Batman (you read that right) in the comments section. “If we’re really going to bad mouth the President of the United States, why don’t we at least learn his title.”

The complaint isn’t new to me. For years, we got complaints that our references to “Mr. Obama” betrayed our disrespect for him. And before that, “Mr. Bush” made some readers suspect that we were showing our disdain for that president.
