Trump has always  called people names, ie. crooked Hilary, sleepy Joe. You earn respect, you don't just get given it because of your job title. He has brought disrespect upon himself.

So, let's take a poll.

 

Trump tells a reporter "I'm the President. Don't talk to me that way".

 

Is he arrogant? Authoritarian?

 

Or is there a generalized lack of respect in society for authority figures which is out of control?

 

After all, when you all had jobs, how did you keep your jobs for so long? By constantly attacking your boss or by being respectful?

But yet, people think it's perfectly normal to go on forums and attack the President 24/7.

 

Not only to attack, but make veiled threats about his violent downfall.

 

At some level, is there something wrong with the general population who cannot respect authority?

 

 

'

Reporters should be disrespectful and question everything, it's very necessary, but of course equally a President can demand respect. 

 

Both sides are doing what they should be doing here.

 

Is there a general lack of respect that permeates society today? Of course there is, and it's a serious problem. It starts with women, who disrespect their men, just look at Michelle Obama, and it goes all the way down to transam not kow-towing when I enter a thread, though I am manifestly his superior.

Where is the no respect, point it out........?  🤭

Yah, they don't even notice it anymore.

 

It's normal behaviour for them.

 

It's a real problem.How will we progress if those who distinguished themselves get no respect?

 

Imagine if Trump just walked away, and said "Right, you do it then". We'd be back to the regressive decline, the horrendous swamp of incompetence we saw before.

Ah.  Another deranged syndrome sufferer that refuses to acknowledge that Trump is actually the president.  And as such, even if reporters hate the man, they owe respect to the office.  Otherwise, they're disrespecting the USA itself. 

 

Sucks for your ilk, I know.  But (in the now immortal words of Scott Jennings) Choke on it.

 

You should Google that.  "Jennings choke on it"

A reporter asking a question that Trump doesn't like or want to answer is not disrespecting the office, its their job. Trump is a buffoon masquerading as a politician that cares about the USA.  

 

You should get a grip on yourself and not post nonsense, i never said Trump wasn't the president.  Last time I checked the president is elected to serve the people and honor the constitution and laws of the USA.

 

If any group is disrespecting the Presidential Office of the USA its trump and you cultist that turn a blind eye to the manner in which Trump is dealing with his duties of the office. 

 

You have a good day now

One might respect the position but when the person in that position tells lies constantly, utilizes govt offices to attack his opponents and those that just don't agree with everything he proposes or says.   I myself have met with Presidents and everyone I have seen totally are opposite DJT.  A narcississt doesn't deserve respect, it is something that must be earned.  DJT doesn't respect the presidency nor the constitution of the US, to which he has sworn an oath - obviously his one hand was behind him with crossed fingers IMHO.

Its a shame you can't face reality. When you finally wake up and get out of the sheep line you are gonna be sadly disappointed in your position.

YOu must also recall that everyone elected to the presidency and positions within the government must swear to an oath supporting the US constitution - while Trump just seems to fail to understand what that means.

No, it's just a ludicrous comment. 

 

Politicians and presidents in particular always lie, since time immemorial, they are expected to lie. Lying is the politician's default state, not an exception.

 

Anyone who thinks previous presidents always told the truth lives in Snowwhite fairyland.

Don't really care about that as it has no relevance to this topic. Nice try at gaslighting the discussion.

Hes pretty angry these days. Everything he worked for being exposed as detrimental to the US/ the west

Exactly, he has totally alienated almost half the world's population (India and China) and driving them and others into working prositively with BRICS to bring down the dollar and destroy western democracies.

Naa trump works for us grow a pair and stop hiding behind the presidency and answer the stinking question the dudes just trying to intimidate it’s what he does.remember the guy from oz that asked him a pertinent question???he pulled the same cr@p and I’d bet money he called the journalist boss to try and ruin the guys career livelihood possibly the financial ruin ….for asking trump a question…..sorry personally that’s just another reason the guy’s unsuitable for the presidency.time to flush.

 

That is one of the most ignorant and arrogant misconceptions that the public holds in respect to  people who occupy public office. Working for someone and serving the public are two very different constructs.  Public office holders are not the employees of the general public.

 

The public has no authority over a US President. None. A president serves for 4 years, up to a maximum of 8 years.  It is a specified period of contract.  Almost 1/2 the US population has no say in the selection of a US president. And of the US population that does have a say, it is usually restricted to choosing between 2 candidates for the position.  That selection does not equate to authority. Only Congress can decide whether or not a President will be removed from office. The public does not control the President's pay, pension or benefits.

To this level, to this degree? Why does there have to be independent fact-checkers needed every time he opens his mouth?
He had made more lies in the few months in office than all the lies of the past 25 presidents combined! No. I did not check the exact numbers. It's the massive scope of his lying that is so outrageous! Virtually every time he speaks.

So you've not been following world history, Democrats breaking into Republicans' Watergate building, nor Lyndon B Johnson sending troops to Alabama to protect civil rights marches, Eisenhower enforcing desegregation with troops, 

 

They all lied. All of them. But Trump does it and it's suddenly a shock to the system?  Or do you really think you were living in a Disney  fairlyland where politicians were always telling the truth before Trump came along?

Fair enough, Trump is at the higher end of the spectrum, I grant you that. 

 

However, it's not as if he's pretending to be holier than thou, he's not pretending to be honest in the slightest.

 

In a way, if you know someone always lies, it makes them more reliable.

I almost hate to disagree with you, but you’re right. 
It’s just a shame that half the country doesn’t care about his lies. That’s America’s most pressing problem, not illegal aliens.
