He is not my president.

[kentuck]

He has not earned the respect of that title.

It doesn't really matter to me how many votes he received. It did not change him to a decent or honest person.

He is a disgrace to our nation. He lied to and deceived his followers and the people of this country.

He should not be in the White House.

He should be in jail.

I will never call him Mr President.

You can call him whatever you wish.

He is not mine. Nothing he did was fair or square to get to where he is today.

44. NOT

[bluestarone]

67. No fn way

NEVER!

[larwdem]

79. He won't represent half the country

[Magoo48]

84. He is not my president either. He is not my leader or Commander in Chief.

Everything he tries to do, I will resist if there is any way possible. I live in the Republic of California; this is where my allegiance will be until our nation is again governed by a competent leader. At 76, I may not experience another national leader..

[niyad]

87. NOT until Jan 20, 2025, and, even then, he will still be TRAITOR**-in-chief.

[niyad]

88. PRESIDENT Joseph Robinette Biden, Jr., IS the President.

[MFM008]

114. He is nothing

But a moral degenerate, a rapist and a convicted felon and I pray for the day he dies.
Being elected anything does not raise your moral standard it does not clean you of the filth of a lifetime

[kelly1mm]

5. My Grandfather who has passed said the same thing about President Obama. Didn't change the

fact that President Obama was his President as a citizen of the United States ......

[kentuck]

6. Barack Obama did not incite an insurrection.

Or try to overthrow the government.

Or was told by the Colorado Supreme Court that he was disqualified by the 14th Amendment.

Or tried to steal the election thru election fraud.

Or act like a traitorous asshole.

[kelly1mm]

8. All true. All irrelevant as to if President Trump will be your President starting Jan 20th (assuming you are

a US citizen and he does not pass away before then.....)

Same as President Obama was my grandfathers president the last 6 years of his life.

[kentuck]

9. He will not be my president.

Period. Full stop.

[kelly1mm]

10. You saying it won't make it true. But, if it makes you feel better please proceed..... nt

[kentuck]

12. And you saying it is irrelevant....

...does not make it so, either. By the rules of the election, he may be called the President. He does not have a shred of legitimacy, for me personally.

No. He is not my president.

[arthritisR_US]

19. I'm a Canadian and to me he was asshole or orange shitgibbon,

since he came down that putrid gold staircase he’s been that. There is no other name/title I will give him than what I always have.

[kelly1mm]

25. Well this is really going nowhere but assuming for sake of argument he is not your President. Who then is? nt

[Jack Valentino]

45. I wouldn't be opposed to Thomas Crooks, if that were the opposing choice.

Unfortunately, he died.

[Marthe48]

64. Thanks for defending your stand so well

I just listened to an audiobook where part of the story was set in WWII France and described some of the courageous Resistance fighters. What they did to preserve "Liberte egalite, fraternity." In spite of the fact that that nazis overran French defences, for many French citizens, hitler was not their leader.

Same with me with the rwnj that have been installed, the rwnj who are dismantling the Constitution of the U.S., the traitors gleefully selling my country to the highest bidder. Whatever rwnj want, they aren't getting. Anybody who voted for any rwnj is complicit in the overthrow of our country. Why legitimize their crimes? I won't.

[hadEnuf]

15. As Americans we have a duty to resist this fascist dictator that is being thrust upon us through manipulation,

brainwashing, felonious criminal acts and outright thuggery.

No, he is not my president. He shouldn't be yours either.

[arthritisR_US]

21. Excellent point!👍🏼

[radical noodle]

38. You're actually right

He won't be your president, because he has no desire to be your president. He only wants to hurt you and people like you. That isn't a president, it's an oppressor.

[arthritisR_US]

28. Why are you even questioning if the poster is a US citizen?

[kelly1mm]

29. If the poster is not a US citizen then the statement 'President Trump is not my President' would be correct.

If the poster IS a US citizen, then the statement 'President Trump is not my President' would be incorrect.

I was not questioning their citizenship status, just trying to figure out any possible out they may have in making such a clearly erroneous statement.

[arthritisR_US]

30. So you're fully behind the shitgibbon?

[kelly1mm]

32. I am fully behind the fact that President Trump (assuming he does not pass away before 1/20/25) will be the next

President of the United States. As such, he will be my President as I am a US citizen.

If by 'fully behind' you mean did I vote for him? Hell no!

[MFM008]

115. You dont get it

The criminal, the felon, the rapist and moral degenerate doesn't exist and Noone this divisive can survive long. Mark my words he will not live to 2028.

[choie]

13. He also wasn't convicted

On 34 counts. Nor of tax evasion against NY state.

[arthritisR_US]

31. Hello, he was!

[choie]

122. Barack Obama was convicted on 34 counts?

I think you may have misunderstood my post.

[biophile]

58. He was convicted by a jury

Just not sentenced to any punishment (yet) and probably never will. Still convicted though

[The Grand Illuminist]

86. That maybe overturned as well.

nt

[choie]

123. I was referring to Obama

not being convicted of 34 counts

[biophile]

130. I'm sorry - my bad

I’m chronically confused 😏😆

[alarimer]

95. Obama never actively wanted to punish people who didn't vote for him, though.

Trump does. He wants to purge the federal government of all non-Republicans.

If a disaster strikes a blue state, he will not help it.

That is why as a citizen of Maryland, I can say he is not my president. Because, if some disaster happens to my state, we are on our own.

[kelly1mm]

100. Fellow Marylander as well. He will be the President of the US on Jan 20th (assuming he does not die first).

When that happens, no matter how much I despise him and no matter how much I fear he will damage the country he will be my President because I am a US citizen. It is purely a definitional issue.

[Blues Heron]

104. I think your giving the sick fuck too much credit. He wont be anybodys president, its not who he is,

He is more of a nazi dictator kind of guy. Definitely not presidential material at all.

[kelly1mm]

105. In the US we have one President at a time. Who will be occupying that office on January 21, 2025? (assuming

President Trump does not die between now and then).

[Blues Heron]

107. Putin?

[kelly1mm]

108. Funny, but incorrect. Shoot, President Biden is making sure there is a smooth transition and, from what

hear, is going to attend the inauguration of (let me check my notes here .... yep) President Trump.

[niyad]

118. He is NOT currently the President, so, please, quit calling him that. Joseph

Robinette Biden, Jr. IS the President. And please do not even start on the "courtesy/protocol" . The F'n, murdering, orange, RAPIST, TRAITOR** deserves no such consideration. Your posted insistence on his legitimacy is a bit puzzling, while people are expressing their horror about the shitshow to come.

[kelly1mm]

119. I am calling President Trump President Trump NOT because he is going to be President, but because he was

already President. Just like I refer to President Obama as President Obama. President Bush as President Bush, and President Clinton as President Clinton. All former Presidents are normally referred to as their formal title, no?

[niyad]

125. You either missed or ignored the "protocol" defense comment. Again,

your posted insistence here on deference and protocol for this F'n, murdering, orange, RAPIST, TRAITOR** is extremely puzzling, and now amusing. Do, please, keep trying.

[I_UndergroundPanther]

128. I will never

Respect him
Listen to him
Tolerate him
And most importantly I will never obey or trust him.

He is a criminal a psychopath a narcissist and a total loser.
Unworthy of the office, truly a life unworthy of life to use a quote of the orange monsters favorite monster, hitler.

[Crunchy Frog]

102. Obama acted within the Constitution and didn't seek to become a dictator

However much your grandfather may have believed otherwise.

Both sides are not equal in this comparison.

[kelly1mm]

106. Both sides are not equal in the morality of their motivation to deny the factual truth of the situation. In that I

agree wholeheartedly! But they are both still factually wrong.

[niyad]

117. See post 87.

[kelly1mm]

121. No. Not doing your work for you. nt

[niyad]

127. MY work? Seriously? What WORK is it, exactly, that I need to do? This really has

become most amusing.

[Baitball Blogger]

7. I was going to go along with it all, because, I have my own way of rebelling.

But, everything you say is true. And when you put it that way, I'm ashamed he's the president. And I'm ashamed of this country for voting for him.

Would you have “gone along?”

The threat is pure nazi-ism, in every word and deed.
Straight out of the fascist playbook, and the next step (after the immigrants, see below) is the takeover of the armed forces, by picking on one, and then another and then more and more until noone is left to uphold the constitution.

Speaking of immigrants. Niemoller:

First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a socialist.

Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a trade unionist.

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

FASCISM MUST BE STOPPED NOW, BEFORE THOUSANDS, PERHAPS MILLIONS ARE VICTIMS.

One glimmer of hope is that the “four horsemen” now banded together:
Trump, Musk, Putin and Bannon
Have such insane egos and perversion that they will fight each other for power, money, sex, murder.

Don’t count on it.

They skillfully divide and conquer.

And the answer is _____________________

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

112. He's a walking POS!! That's as far as I'm willing to go.

[xocetaceans]

20. He is a criminal and an insurrectionist, who is barred by the 14th Amendment under any...

...non-corrupt interpretation of the US Constitution, which naturally does not include the interpretation given by Roberts's version of SCOTUS.

AMENDMENT XIV

...

Section 3.
No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice-President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability.

...

https://www.archives.gov/milestone-documents/14th-amendment

[Rhiannon12866]

22. The 14th Amendment, Section 3, prohibited him from holding public office. He should not have been allowed to run.

Tells us all we need to know about what the former Republican party has become.

[AZ8theist]

97. It says WAY MORE about the Constitution, and our enforcement of it's provisions.

The Hatch Act? The Logan Act??

Why, we can't charge anyone violating THOSE laws since it's never been done before!!! Those laws are OLD!!!!

There's no justice left in America. Just the way the Nazis want it.

23. I will only ever refer to him as the SlobFather or VonSchitzInPants.

75. I call him...

... the Gangrenous Boil on the Ass of Humanity, among other things. Brain-dead Shit-gibbon also has a nice ring to it.

[BlueMTexpat]

Felon Scumbag, among others!

I will NEVER call him President!

Let alone MINE!

Period..

34. Legitimate American presidents don't use "forces" from Russia to get elected.

That thing has never been nor ever will be a real American president.

[RainCaster]

37. No president has ever blown microphone before

IMO, he was demonstrating his negotiating skills he will use with Putin. Again.

[Meowmee]

39. Agree

Some call him the antichrist, maybe they are right.

It’s hard to believe that psychopath and his band of crazies and moles will be installed again to destroy the country. It is DEEPLY disturbing to see this happening.

[ribrepin]

40. I see Trump as a show I no longer want to watch

I watched the Trump's Apprentice every week the first year. I watched less and less every season until I wasn't watching anything. It had become boring and stupid.

I am not watching national news right now because his image could be on there. I am actively avoiding any image of his fat ass. I'm glad he has assholes to stroke his & Elon's ego. I'm just not interested.

[BeyondGeography]

41. He is who he is

And Americans gave him a popular vote win anyway. At this point, nearly ten years after the guy started running for President for the first time, after all the lies, overt racism and misogyny, utter ineptitude and outright treason, that bothers me a lot more than anything else.

[Beringia]

46. So true

[GoodRaisin]

42. He is a vile human being and an embarrassment to America on the world stage.

That’s all I will accept about him.

[jimfields33]

43. President Biden is your president

Why do people forget that?

[EnergizedLib]

61. Thank You

Joe Biden is my president.


The other one?

Never has been, never will be.

[jimfields33]

62. I agree. But I won't even say it until January 20th.

I think it’s disrespectful to president Biden to say it now. I definitely do not for a second believe you were disrespecting our incredible president. I promise you that!

[Emile]

47. I feel the same way. I'll always call him the con artist

who is late for jail.

[raccoon]

48. Right on!

[Martin Eden]

49. Hair Twitler is what I called him the first time

Now I'm leaning towards Maga Mussolini.

[returnee]

50. The "supreme" court that kept him on the ballot in Colorado, and then gave him "immunity"...

…is as illegitimate as he is. Not my president, not my Supreme Court.

[kentuck]

53. I don't know "how" he cheated but I know that he did...

It is in his DNA to cheat. It is not possible for him to not cheat.

We just don't know how he did it at this point.

We will eventually learn.

So, we are supposed to accept his legitimacy and move on?

No, we cannot surrender that easily.

[returnee]

59. Completely agree.

I think it was through malicious software loaded into individual machines, programmed to miscount some votes.

[PJMcK]

51. I share your anger but you're wrong

The classic expression says it clearly:

The United States has only one president at a time.

On January 20th, Trump will be sworn in as the 47th POTUS.

Like you, I hate that man viscerally. He is a sub-human creature without respect for anyone or anything. He is a disgusting man who represents the worst of humanity at every level.

I'm an American citizen. Unfortunately, Trump will be president because he won a free and fair election. So, setting aside your emotions, answer this for me: Who will be my president next year?

Thanks, in advance, kentuck. Your posts are always insightful.

[kentuck]

54. We will be a country without a president.

We may have a criminal. We may have an oligarch, We may have a puppet of Putin. We may have a dictator.

But we will not have a president of the people.

[PJMcK]

55. Sorry, kentuck but that doesn't make sense

The majority of Americans, as you call them "the People" voted for Trump. Ergo, he is the president of the People.

I hate this perhaps more than you do. We're seriously considering moving out of the country. Our motivation is oddly not because Trump will be President. It's because we question the value of living in a country where half the people support man who:

Was impeached twice
Was convicted of dozens of Felonies
Was publicly unfaithful to all three of his wives
Was convicted of fraud
Was convicted of defamation
Went bankrupt at least six times
Was charged with illegal possession of top secret documents
Was charged with citing an insurrection against the United States
Was charged with election interference
As President, told over 30,000 lies in his first term
Is disgusting in every personal behavior

We wonder if we can live among people who support such a revolting person but worry about the price of eggs.

Sadly, as an American, I know the criminal Trump will be President. I'm sure you can see the personal conflicts in accepting this reality.

[kentuck]

56. No, the majority did not vote for him.

He received a plurality of the votes that were cast for the presidency.

King George did not continue to rule America because he did not have the legitimacy of the people.

I do not accept how he was able to manipulate the Justice system and the Supreme Court and not face accountability as would everyone else.

No, he is still not my president.

[PJMcK]

57. Okay

Your semantics are yours to believe in.

A majority of voters elected Trump. Is that a clearer definition of winning the election? He didn't just win the Electoral College, you know.

We'll just have to disagree on your semantics.

Still, I always read your posts on DU. I know you'll keep 'em coming.

[Blues Heron]

109. Below 50 percent is a plurality not a majority

[PJMcK]

110. You're right but so what?

Trump got more votes than VP Harris. He won, we lost.

The semantics may matter in the abstract but in the real world, we'll be dealing with another Trump presidency.

[Blues Heron]

111. Semantics matters when it comes to things like claiming a mandate etc.

Its not just abstract, its part of the information battle.

[claudette]

52. He's not mine either

He’s an orange felon lowlife and all who voted for him have no sense of decency

[lark]

60. I never used the pr word for him during his first theft and won't use it for the 2nd one either.

He IS NOT my president, he is a theif, criminal and traitor installed by fascists out of pure idiocy and really mostly hate.

[Jilly_in_VA]

63. Mine either.

Just the one the country is stuck with. Temporarily.

[kentuck]

65. The simple test for some is that we live in a democracy and whomever gets the most votes wins...

And you must call him your president.

Or what happens?

You will be put under Chinese torture or worse?

Any leader, including the president, rules by the legitimacy of the people.

He does not have a shred of legitimacy.

Remember, it is not who votes, it is who counts the votes. Where have we heard that before?

Should we continue to have faith in our voting system?

[CapnSteve]

74. He is convicted felon Donald Trump. Always will be.

I anchor a weekly radio news program (The People's News - KPFT 90.1 FM Houston and on podcast) and I only refer to him as convicted felon Donald Trump. Not president-elect, not former president, just convicted felon. Sometimes I add "adjudicated rapist" or "twice impeached" to the title, but always lead with "convicted felon."

It is the truth. DO you think they will come for me? I find myself not caring.

[Elessar Zappa]

76. Good!

Glad you’re getting that out on radio. There needs to be competition for the right wing dominated talk radio.

77. For this thread

[Ndp5]

78. Better case for that now than in 2016

Trump now wants acceptance from half the country who rejected him, but he has not earned it.

He proved he was unworthy of the office on Jan. 6 and proved it again on the campaign trail, including with that grotesque MSG rally. And Russia blatantly intervened on his behalf with targeted bomb threats that may not have swung the election but showed who their candidate was. Nothing Trump says now will change that.

I fear people are complacent because we survived the presidency of a different Trump in a different time. 2024 Trump is more dangerous and less constrained. He should be met with opposition.

[La Coliniere]

80. Unfortunately after January 20th he will be "the" President

but he will not be “my” President. The word “my” is a possessor adjective that I would never in a million years use to describe my relationship to the 34 count, adjudicated rapist, twice impeached, con artist and lying criminal. That said, and as painful as it is, he will be “the” President on January 20th and it will be perhaps the darkest day in our democratic republic since the first shots were fired at Ft. Sumter. To hell with the disgusting and immoral voters who brought this upon us, and the media, willfully ignorant influencers, Republican sycophants, MAGA billionaires and corporate shills who enabled this horrific moment in time to occur. I, for one, don’t blame Biden or Harris, and I’m trying hard not to fall into despair and hope that we can form some kind of resistance, any which way we can. When the cruel policies start affecting the felon’s base, I just hope they realize the fatal mistake they made because of whatever reason they voted for this (inflation, racism and misogyny) and own up to the fact that they were lied to and how gullible and foolish they were.

[kimbutgar]

81. And every time I see him on TV I will change the channel or fast forward.

I still like to watch the ABC world news and I will mute or fast forward when I can.

Since I stopped watching MSNBC I’m not as stressed. I also watch The morning shows on FSTV and Stephanie, Thom and Randy are great! And I listen to Sirius XM Progress channel with great people also! I deleted cnn and msnbc on my car radio. Daytime msnbc was rah rah orange Hitler 2.0 and evening was 50/50 !

It was nice to not have that during Biden, but now it's back again.

[AverageOldGuy]

92. Not normalizing

An abnormal, twice impeached, 34 times convicted felon, adjudicated rapist, suspected pedophile, and insurrectionist. I don't care if he won all 50 states. Might *never* makes right. It never has and it never will.

[Evolve Dammit]

93. Same. No allegiance with anti-democratic, dictator wanna -bees and sociopaths. Never.

[alarimer]

94. Mine either.

I know this take is criticized, but Trump actively wants to harm people who didn't vote for him. I think that's what we can say he is not our president. Because he has said he isn't.

No other president has ever done that. Not even Nixon as far as I know.

[KentuckyWoman]

96. If I am ever unfortunate enough

to be unable to avoid meeting any of them in person, I am unafraid to call them out in front of cameras. They are a vengeful bunch. If I were young I might make a different choice. But old? They can't make life miserable for me very long.

[mwooldri]

98. Is this "My President" thing uniquely American?

I've never had an emotional attachment in the positive to any UK prime minister. Negative, yes. Definitely towards Thatcher. But positive... Not really. I don't think Canadians have a positive attachment to Justin Trudeau like "He's my PM". And in the Anglophone world I think that's the case. Prime Ministers are always "the" Prime minister. Never "My PM".

The monarchy.... Similar unless you're a (small R) republican. Elizabeth was never "my Queen", always "the Queen" to me. I liked her, but I never "owned" her. Charles... He's the king. A misunderstood guy, relatively nice guy actually. Preferred his mother over him but he's not bad. But again not "my king". To die hard republicans no monarch is ever "my monarch".... To them it doesn't exist.

So in a sense no-ones is ever "my president". Not even Joe. And I like Joe. The upcoming guy? Nasty man. Real nasty.

[Karasu]

99. Of course not. Felons and insurrectionists shouldn't even be ALLOWED to run for office.

In a sane country they wouldn't be.

No one but the seditionist party should be legitimizing this.

124. Yesterday, at our Friendsgiving,

we all agreed he should be dead... as in executed. We all agreed he was a traitor to the country via both the Insurrection and stealing/giving away/selling top secret documents. He should never have been allowed to even THINK about running for president, that led into "he should have been executed sometime within a year of the insurrection." And I think you know who's name was brought up after that... why did Garland wait so long? Did he have a deal worked out with the republican side? He is a republican, after all... just saying what was brought up in after dinner conversation yesterday... I don't know if it helped anyone's digestion, but we did feel better emotionally, and closer to each other, afterwards.

[kacekwl]

129. I am not saying he did not win

unbelievable as that is but he will never be my president. If not for SS protection I would have no problem kicking him in the balls and pissing on him while he lay on the ground. Figuratively of course
