I still wear it. I still feel that way about Trump.
Hearing him referred to as "president" Trump still angers me. I know from past responses to posts like this one that some will cluck disgustedly that I am "ignoring reality---he IS the president!" And, to them I say fine---if you choose to honor and respect this "man" who knowingly benefitted from massive Russian meddling, well-financed and extensive voter suppression and the assistance of white supremacist groups and STILL lost the popular vote by nearly three million, that is your prerogative. In my opinion, he is and always will be an illegitimate usurper who thugged his way into the White House. Even Jimmy Carter has said as much.
Unless I am quoting someone, I try to scrupulously avoid calling "it" president. That he continues to squat in our White House is enough of an insult to all that is good and decent and honest. I will not normalize his ignorance, dishonesty and willful cruelty by pretending that this sonofabitch is anyone's *president.
And, that's all I have to say about that.

(31,929 posts)and they showed him on TV getting into a helicopter with the Presidential seal on it, I just lost it. I remember I got up and left the room in disgust. I couldnt bear to see him like that. I still feel mountainous disgust any time he is referred to as The President. He disgraces the office every second hes there. I feel your pain, Atticus. I will never accept this loathsome piece of shit as anything other than a loathsome piece of shit.
