Ever noticed how the phrase “The President of the United States” is used endlessly to name Trump. This was not the case with Mr. Bush II. This phrase repeated endlessly elevates this petty little man and lends Trump the status of a Demi god. This is intensional .This has power and I wish the media would just stop it!
