I have been alive for every President since President Johnson. Trump is the first I withhold the title President when

referencing them in their position. Even President G.W. Bush was President Bush out of respect for the office, if not the man. Trump is Trump not President ______.

Note: I may refer to the "LBJ era" or the "Nixon years", etc. but when I speak or write in terms where the title should be appropriate such as, "...when President Johnson or President Nixon", I use the honorific.

Not for Trump. Not anymore. Did so, largely out of habit, during his first term. Not this term.

President Johnson
President Nixon
President Ford
President Reagan
President H.W. Bush
President Clinton
President G.W. Bush
President Obama
President Biden
Trump

He talks about his people, their side
I don't recall any other president talking about Americans as some are his people and some are on the other side.
