The last three times I've watched him on TV, he's always said "Mr. Trump". He has not called him President at all.
Given his history of service to presidents of both parties in the past, this is notable, IMO.

(1,366 posts)Now whether the current person deserves any respect is a question I have already answered for myself. But calling a president Mr. or let's hope Ms., is not disrespectful.
