Plus you can't respect anyone who has such abhorrent views and is bringing down the respectability of the Office.

We have a pee-Resident.

Let him enjoy golden showers somewhere other than 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue!

I consider drumpf to be an illegitimate president that needs to be removed from the oval office.

He has nothing but contempt for the Constitution, its case law, the rule of law, and sound, responsible governance.

(To be fair, the same can be said of most on the right…)

of my radar.

I knew who he was and didn't care. I wasn't impressed by him and it never crossed my mind to watch his TV show. Such would have been alien to my personality.

Now that he has pushed his way into my life, which I resent, I still don't respect him and never will.

then I would revisit the idea of showing him respect. He thinks he was chosen to be our ruler. He doesn't even understand the role of the POTUS.

Yes, KellyAnne and her band of sycophants whining about the lack of respect for Trump reminds me of raising teenage boys, verbally fencing with them as they attempted to wheedle special privileges by 'demanding' respect.

The strategy is flawed because you cannot demand respect. Doesn't matter whether you're a teenager or a 70-year old man. People earn respect from others through their words and deeds and accomplishments. Thus far, Trump has earned only scorn and derision. I don't see that changing anytime soon. This weekend produced another temper-induced tweet storm from Trump. The man needs to grow up. My sons actually managed to do that.
