I was referring more to a general lack of respects everywhere now days, from the entitled individuals who think that the world owe them something to and treat others with disdain and disrespect to some groups of people who thinks of nothing to ruin people lives because of some allegations and accusations...

Are you even aware that you just perfectly summed up your beloved president ?

Trump signals US won't punish Saudi crown prince over Khashoggi killing

Says Trump:

• "our intelligence agencies continue to assess all information, but it could very well be that the Crown Prince had knowledge of this tragic event -- maybe he did and maybe he didn't!"
• "we may never know all of the facts surrounding the murder of Mr. Jamal Khashoggi.
• "It's a very simple equation for me. I'm about make America great again and I'm about America first,"

Trump's 400 lb bed-ridden hacker sure seems to get around.

But it's not incumbent on a President to show respect? 

If he's not shown respect why should he be respectful? He's very nice to people that don't disrespect him.

Given the <deleted> that the opposition heap on him everyday, I'm surprised he's managed to keep his cool as much as he has.

Because he's the president and should act like a grown-up and as much as possible take the high road.

 

"He's very nice to people that don't disrespect him."

Wrong. He gives praise to sycophants who stroke his ego (something the man-child craves and needs).

Yeah, because keeping his cool is what he does!!

Are you unaware of the expression ' to lead by example ' ? It is after all a bedock of Christian philosophy which a majority of US citizens ( including Trump ) supposedly adhere to.
