All reporting will refer to Drumpf as "Defendant Trump", not "President Trump"
He is not President. He is a defendant.

(36,562 posts)Someone on MSNBC suggested that Trump's attorney constantly referring to him as president Trump, even when he's talking about time before when Trump was president, could be confusing to the jury. JFC, I hope not!!

(47,750 posts)That is getting old already, hearing them refer to Trump as President Trump and you just know that Trump requires them to call him "President".
It clearly can have an effect on how the jury views the defendant.

(1,530 posts)A civil trial ruled that he was liable for harming Ms. Carroll, but it was not--repeat NOT--a criminal conviction. The only way TSF would have gone to jail in those proceedings was if he committed contempt of court, obstruction or perjury.
But feel free to cough up the evidence of a criminal conviction and especially the specific criminal charges for which he was convicted.

In fact, a lot of us won't even type his adopted name because we don't want him mentioned, at all, so creeper programs won't tell him how much he's being discussed. TFG (That Fat Grifter) works for me.

(113,930 posts)I don't even use his name. TRAITOR**, or whatever else my blood pressure decrees on any given day.
I have however referred to him as
Grifter in Chief
Chief Bonespurs

the Antichrist
a con-man, criminal, liar, rabble-rousing demagogue,
a pos, a sob, or simply, that mfkr.

(32,786 posts)Everyone who calls him president is part of the problem that Biden reference last night. The media has a responsibility and a role to play in upholding our democracy and they are failing.
