Respect for all men and women needs to be earned. You are not respected by virtue of your position in my opinion.

I agree. However to make unsubstantiated allegations against the USA President just after he has been passed as 100% fit physically and mentally by an independent physician is darned right rude if not disrespectful.
Just another anti-Trump tactic.
They don't like it up 'em!
Fact is he has turned the USA economy around, sorting out the US health care system, and putting N.Korea on notice.
He gets my vote - along with the majority of thinking Americans.

They are entitled to their opinion, but that doesn't make that opinion correct.
The guy passed his medical 100%.
And yes, he IS the leader of the free world, If he is not tell me who is?

Of course he passed his medical, he has power and money, both of which frequently corrupt. I do not believe that there is one doctor in the USA who would dare to say that Wiggy is unfit, physically or mentally, to rule America.

Why should we have any leader of the free world ? Each country is ruled by it's own, we don't need Trump to rule us thank you.

Good ideas he may have, but he also has a very loose and foul mouth.

Well, he acted e. g. on environmental issues like permitting previously blocked pipeline construction. Which had quite an economic impact on the affected regions. While I regard this a good thing many of his utterances and actions make me cringe. I surely don´t regard him the leader of the free world.

Not illegally according to the respective court judgement. And not even crossing it but only passing close-by.

The treatment of the NA indigenous peoples was terrible, still never properly acknowledged and demonstrated the worst aspects of European populations disregard for other colours and cultures. Australia, New Zealand South America other prime examples. In the USA, they still haven’t addressed the lies perpetrated against the NA Indians.

The pipelines demonstrated a continued disregard for Native American views. The Dakota one was going over sacred ground and under a water source.

No! It didn´t cross their land. It is running a few hundred yards away from it. And the company had a permit in the first place which was suspended after they had already invested 3.8 billion. The native Americans hadn´t objected when they could have and after more than 90% of the pipeline had been built already it occurred to them that it might be against their religious feelings. 50 million dollars would have healed this emotional harm though - which the company refused to fork out. Only then did they start to protest.
