Dammit! He is NOT the President!

[Katinfl]

I have MSNBC on and they all keep referring to him as “President”. He is NOT. Why can’t they refer to him as ‘trump”, “former president”, Mr. trump, Donald, whatever????? Just not President! I realize that former presidents, i.e. Obama, Clinton, Bush, Carter are frequently referred to as President XYZ, but he is not in the same class. Especially on his way to a 3rd indictment and bragging that a 4th one would assure him the nomination. This has been a pet peeve of mine for quite some time. He is a POS and should not be given the time of day, IMO.

1. Daytime MSNBC is so much worse than CNN. Neither pass purity tests and

both are what they are - corporate media. But my feelings on the matter stand.


ETA: I have come to really love Nicole Wallace though.

2. Defendant. That is all. Defendant.

4. Defendant is completely appropriate.

3. So the bar is now Bush?

5. Ana Cabrera is referring to him as "The former president..."

She seems to be making a point of it. So it’s not everyone.

6. Agree. Ana is using former as is Andrew Weissman.

Chris Jansing just used former. Seems Ms. Mitchell is the only “president trump” offender.

7. They should call him "the defendant." n/t

8. BBC is covering it at the moment too, if you have access to that.
