That said I do understand the counter argument that regardless of what asshole is in the office the office still is worthy of request.

some respect and carry themselves like a human adult. Until he starts showing the office some respect, we should not address him as "President".

Being elected POTUS from Trump on should be like winning the lottery... as in Shirley Jackson's The Lottery.

What this means is that the President needs to act like he has 320 million bosses, that's a real burden. We can't have it the other way around, that's for sure though.

The Trumpenfuhrer also has a certain appeal. However, I feel it gives him a bit too much Germanic dash. One could almost picture him commanding a Tiger Tank in the North African desert with a name like that. No, I like Dotard. It is a well-deserved and even accurate sobriquet.

It's just Trump. He wasn't elected anyway.

BTW, when do we start publicly shaming the electoral college voters? They knew he was unfit, had the opportunity to save our country and did nothing. They alone are to blame for this!

If you are arguing with Republicans, especially those uneasy, but still with Trump -- calling him President Trump in my first reference to him and making a polite case for why he is bad for that person is more likely to put a dent into their attachment. (Maybe not immediately and almost certainly not publicly in response to what you said.

Is supporters would love to point as us as rude and not respectful. Don't give them that excuse to rally around him.

Personally I think of him as an unelected usurper, an illegitimate tyrant, a fucking asshole, and "that bastard", but I think that "FAKE PRESIDENT!!" has the simplicity, clarity , specificity and direct emotional appeal to make it an effective meme that should be repeated as often and vehemently as necessary until it becomes common usage.
