... or "President Donald Trump".

He's the POTUS, not the guy selling hod-dogs around the corner down the street, FFS !!

The basic ethical nomenclature / etiquette dictates that the TITLE preceeds the NAME, when you refer to Presidential characters, or important personalities in general occupying primordial functions.

Saying "Trump" this and "Trump" that, yada yada "Trump" etc. is highly unethical and inappropriate, and a lack of respect for the title. What matters is the TITLE, when you're President, or Pope, or Queen (you say QUEEN Elizabeth the 2nd, you don't say "Liz" !!). You always preceed the name with the title.

Please take this into consideration and post accordingly from now on. It's basic etiquette, regardless if you like the person or not.

Its common practice. It was pretty rare for anyone to call Obama President Obama unless they were speaking in an official capacity.

Trump shits on decorum for breakfast so I don't care.

That said, our punishment for electing him should be the constant reminder that yes, he is the President. And we should Never Forget like other tragedies.

My whole life I have seen the president just called by his first name. I actually like that as it makes the president feel less above the average person. Bush Sr. Was always Bush and later Sr. Clinton was always Clinton, Bush Jr. Was W and Obama was always Obama. I don't see why Trump should be treated any different?

That's because you didn't follow it in the slightest yet still feel as if you know about what happened

Anyway as much as this may be a satirical topic, I legit overheard this discussion while waiting at the doctor's office shortly after the election where someone was bitching about how no one gives Trump the proper respect or refers to him as "President Trump". It's absolutely a real thing that his cult followers believe

Exactly. He should have always been referred to as President HUSSEIN Obama.

The title preceeds the name, when we're talking about Heads of State, or the Supreme Pontiff (this means the Pope, before you ask), or other primordial functions where protocol is required. Even if you talk about them with your mates at KFC.

I'm British, and no we don't.

We usually just say "the Queen". Kinda like how in the US you say "the President" but a bit more-so, since there's not as many previous queens still around.

I followed. Not as closely as I do now (though I think this goes for a lot of us since Trump got in..at least on here if we're honest), but what really made me want to defend Trump was seeing how professional institutions were condemning Trump since Day 1. I don't think it's right or fair that people see him as a Nazi. A racist. A bigot. Nobody thought these things of Trump UNTIL he started his run for Presidency. It's insanity. Whenever people run for office, things pop out of the wood work. Remember when John Kerry abandoned his team during a war? Funny how that sprung up around 2004, huh? Remember all that nonsense about him?

I honestly think this guy has gotten the shaft from the mainstream media. I respect their right to question things, but I think there is a lot of bias at the top of these organizations.

I find it inappropriate when people call him President, as well as his name Trump. They should just call him Donald (or as I like to say, He Who Should Not Be President).

Completely false. Trump was well known as a racist long before the presidency.

Look up the Central Park 5 and also Trump's housing discrimination.

do you not understand that a lot of dirty laundry gets amplified when someone runs for office? Just because YOU didn't hear about it doesn't mean it wasn't known or talked about before. It just means more when you're trying to be President so it gets talked about more....how do you claim to follow politics and not realize that?

Also Trump's racism was well documented beforehand. It just wasn't common knowledge. Unless Caution somehow thinks old articles were created retroactively in a grand conspiracy.
