Why Give Tr**p Respect As Former president Or Respect For The Office?.....

Tr**p had no respect for the office he held and till today he has no respect for the Office of the Presidency.

I learned very early in life that - "respect is given when respect is due".

Tr**p is being treated - special - during this whole process. The more he's treated special - the more he will take advantage of the situation and in his head believe that he is special. His followers will believe he's special as well. That is all wrong.

He should be treated like the criminal and nut job he is. No special privileges.

No private jet to NYC. No special treatment when he gets there. No secret service protection. If he needs protecting - let him pay for it himself. After all - he is a private citizen now. No news conferences after the arraignment.

We have only ourselves to blame for his behavior - because at every step he's being kowtowed to. How is it we haven't learned - that he loves the attention and is at his most miserable is when he's ignored.

Quit saying everything about this whole thing is unprecedented. He eats that up.

Stop it already and make him accountable. Time to turn the tables on him.

All the respect cannot keep going to the white, wealthy power elite.

Just like all the respect cannot keep going to guns.
American lives deserve some respect too.
