This comment is not constructive and paints a false narrative.

It's complaining about a certain ignorant disrespect I've seen personally today, so I see it as corrective and therefore constructive. But I think I get what you're saying, though your comment is a little threadbare; I'd be interested in your full argument/reasoning.

EDIT: I added a few words to the grandparent post to try to make my intent clearer.

There was nothing disrespectful about Trump's tweet. I find it strange that you can't use his name, as if it's somehow shameful. That's disrespect to me.

Try being nicer - had you left off the "womp womp" you'd be leaving a perfectly respectful opinion. With it, you just sound like a jerk.

You know what, I think I agree with you. Edited. Thanks for the feedback.

However, I'd like to use this opportunity to plug Valee's "Womp Womp". Check it out on Spotify!

Not enough people on the internet read what they're saying outloud before posting. I blame this on the low quality of discourse on the intnernet. You're very welcome by the way.

Speaking as a firefighter, I found Trump's suggestion that they should "act fast" to be pretty disrespectful.

Do you like to take your time when you put out fires?

I once had a neighbor whose house burned. From the outside it definitely looked like the fire crews were taking their time arriving, setting up camp, preparing, aiming, etc. But maybe acting intelligently isn't always the same as acting quickly.

Slow is smooth. Smooth is fast.

Now by the transitive property, slow is fast. That doesn't sound right, Hoss.

No, and that's the point. How would you feel if I publicly told you to do some basic function of your job?

If the POTUS tweeted at me, "Code like the wind! Very important!", I'd be excited.

I really wasn't monitoring my use of the name. Though obviously I am now. Anyway you guessed right: My lack of respect for the guy we're talking about is so deep and vast that this forum won't tolerate my going into it. And rightly so, because ultimately it's boring as heck.

Actually I think I was, if anything, charitably conferring tons of undue respect on that guy, by calling him "our president," thereby not only acknowledging his office but accepting him as "ours," both of which are more than some are willing to do. Ya can't please some people I guess.

It was disrespectful because donald, the self-proclaimed expert on all the things, doesn't understand what he is suggesting, and doesn't understand that what he is suggesting is not helping anyone/anything except his ego.
