New WH press secretary criticized for demanding media refer to Trump as 'President Trump'

New White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany is coming under criticism from some in the media after telling an ABC reporter to not refer to the president by his name only.

"To you, he’s not Trump, he’s President Trump!" wrote McEnany, who replaced Stephanie Grisham as press secretary earlier this month.

The statement included a tweet about coronavirus testing from ABC White House reporter Katherine Faulders.

Trump is not even close to presidential material.
He's trespassing on the White House grounds.

There are a whole lot of names for him, but none of them are "President Trump". He has never been our president and never will be. We will never recognize him as such. Who do you think you are?

and no he didn't win it and no he doesn't deserve it.

She is a another propaganda secretary but most likely a Prop... the last gal in her position collected about 75k off the tax payers and did nothing maybe she could do more of the same.

He refers to Everyone by their first name like he’s someone that is so special that he has the right to dismiss respectful etiquette.
