No president...only mister.

I was watching the news tonight; it was a network station, I think CBS?—not sure though.
There was a segment about one of the many Trump scandals we all have on our plates, and NOT ONCE did the newscaster say "president" before that name.
It was always mister.
I loved it!

I've often thought the only way they should add that before his name is if they use air quotes...

"President" and "Trump" might as well be antonyms. Not only is he fucking up completely; he's preventing someone qualified from doing some good.
