He doesn't use Vice President-it is just mike

Same with Dr. Fauchi he calls him tony

Dr Birx- Deb , and others




he expects to be called sir or mr. President ughhh

1. Yes... but he more often refers to Dr. Birx as "Deborah" than he does so with Dr. Fauci as "Tony"

Much more and does so immediately AFTER referring to Dr. Fauci with full title. obvious
Misogyny and insecurity and a very pathetic need to try to "alpha" assert himself.

I worked for a giant corporation for years, and I've seen this guy before.

It's "Kiss Up! Kick Down!" all the way.

The oligarchs are his Up and the common people are his Down.



And don't turn your back on him. Watch him around your money and your wife.

"Tony? Debbie? Mike? Nahhhh, I hardly knew them. I get my picture taken with thousands of people - beautiful pictures like you've never seen before, so pictures don't mean a thing."

14. It's a deliberate act of disrespect. OK to address kids by their first names, not as "Mr/s" or "Dr".

Kids and pets. He's letting him know they're in that category, as far as he cares.
