At the very least it is the position of being the President that is respected, respecting the attributes and abilities of the person comes a little later.
It is my opinion that Trump has dragged this elevated and respected position into the gutter, he is a criminal, a rapist, a liar, he even cheats the workmen and small firms who work for him and he is also possibly a traitor, whether by design or stupidity. He has divided his country and it would appear now he will attempt to divide the world with Tarifs, which history shows doesn't work, it strengthens the competitor to be even better, see China with the huge strides it has made in chip production and new innovations with the machines to produce chips since China was cut off from buying the latest machines from Holland, great! now they make their own.
If he manages to survive 4 more years cognitively, which I doubt, he will leave America a poorer place. It is my hope that Europe can bring the herculean effort to move away from the US and realign themselves, why stay tethered to a sinking ship.
