What do you know? The New York Times is getting its quadrennial abuse over its style-sheet, specifically how it references the president in news stories.
Readers occasionally express concern about articles referring to the president as “Mr. Trump.”

The complaint isn’t new to me.

It’s “President Trump” (or President Obama, or President Bush) on first reference, and “Mr. Trump” or “the president” (lowercase) thereafter.
Well.
Search around, and you will find that I have never used the words “President Trump” — nor will I. I quote others accurately, and you will find the words in quotes, but you will never find them used by me. The Donald, the Liar-in-Chief, the Buffoon-in-Chief, the Cartoon Character-in-Chief is … #NotMyPresident, and he won’t be getting the honorific that goes with the office he has so grievously soiled. At least not around here.
All he is getting from me is the loathing and contempt he deserves from decent people.
