He/she represents America and the Free World and the President should be given
a degree of respect, even while disliking the president.

Have you ever looked at his Twitter feed or watched one of his press conferences and seen how he comports himself and talks about others, particularly those who disagree with him, and the juvenile nicknames he gives them? He acts like a 6th-grade bully.

When have we ever had a President who treated people the way he does? When he respects the office of the Presidency and the people he represents and who work hard every day to try to make this country and world a better place--even if you disagree with their path to doing so--and acts in a Presidential and respectful manner toward others, he will get the respect due the office. (Maybe--at this point, he's already done so much damage and disrespected enough people that he probably wouldn't get it even then at this point. But if he'd started that way....)

As has been stated, respect is earned. Even if you're the President. He has not earned it, and he has not given it. The two tend to go hand in hand.

Character matters.
