I didn't write the damn protocols. I'm simply quoting them. The critical protocol is: the first time the man is referred to, he is addressed as "President" Invar. (Good God forbid)
My God man, if you won't go outside and mingle with real, live people ... at least open a window for some fresh air. You're starting to sound a little disconnected from the world...... I'll keep you in my prayers.

The Current President in Media?
How should President Trump be referred to by the media? I hear them refer to him as Mr. Trump and this just doesn't sound very respectful of him or the office (in my opinion). Mahalo for your time.

Dear MBIH:
In the media the journalists are referring to The President in the third person in a story ... so they will refer to him in various ways so who they are talking about is clear to the listener.
You'll hear:
Donald Trump
President Trump
Trump
Mr. Trump
These are not forms of address ... for which there are rules. In direct address a president is addressed as
Mr. President
His given name or surname is not used in his presence.
Listen to a White House news conference, and all the reporters address him as Mr. President.
