Hello katsung47,
I offer respect to anybody who wants to voice their views in a civil way.
I also find it rip-roaringly hilarious to watch some of the late night comic acts making fun of Trump. He deserves every bit of it and far more. There actually are not enough comic time slots to use all the material Trump generates - he should be glad of that.
In short, Trump supporters have my respect as long as it is a two-way street.
What they seem to be wanting is for the rest of the nation to stop dissenting Trump, and not make fun of him where he leave himself open to it.
That's not going to happen.
President Trump is a public figure. He is fair game. If he doesn't want to be ridiculed, then he should not do ridiculous things.
I respect Trump supporters who engage in civil discourse.
I respect the office which President Trump holds.
I do not respect him as a person. He is wrong for the job. He does not belong in the job. He got it by a fluke, and just barely. He remains unpopular. He is mean, nasty and uncaring. He has no morals, no social graces. He is rejected and excluded by people of culture. He has no class. He is an elite snob. He has no respect for the rule of law. He is selfish and greedy. He is a cheater. He is an adulterer. He is a bad father. He is a liar. He is a racist. He is a misogynist. He is a xenophobe. He is a demagogue. He is disloyal to the USA. He has already violated emoluments. He should be thrown out, but Republicans in Congress are too power-drunk to value nation over party.
All of that is absolutely true, and I respect none of it.
I can respect any Trump supporter who respectfully disagrees with me, but they are few and far between. Many Trump supporters are motivated not only by blocking out the above, but by believing a lot of stereotypes about liberals which simply are not true. Those stereotypes cause them to believe I am some kind of horrible person, and that insulting me will somehow correct that. I am not, and it won't. What it will do is cause me to place posters who flame on me on Ignore.
For the few who manage to support Trump and possess the ability to conduct civil discourse, I welcome that; and am actually fascinated how the well-adjusted can support this person whom I think of as a monster. I have learned that it mostly means they purposely overlook President Trump's misgivings because they are convinced Hillary would have been worse. And they are not proud of him, and wish he would not be so controversial. They used to complain that he tweeted too much, but have given up on stemming the flow of tweet storms. They probably cringe when Trump comes out with some new crassness, but have built up an immunity to it, and cling to belief that things would be worse with Hillary.

Wow, Trump snowflakes want respect? I don't know if they'll ever figure it out but he cares nada for them or their lives, but they listen to his meandering nonsense, believing one thing one minute and its contradiction the next. How can one respect that level of hero worship and naivety.

Trumpettes voted a liar and self serving jerk into the most powerful office in the world. Asking a lot for the left to watch this train wreck quietly and respectfully.

Trump knew he got no respect from Eagles so he canceled the meeting.

The Eagles first were going to have most of the players come to the White House, then they said it would be fewer players. Then wanted to change the date to when the President would be in Singapore.
Finally, they said it would be 2 or 3 players, the Owner and the Team Mascot.
Trump said, Don't bother.

Trump supporters disrespect all respectable people by taking a share of the oxygen supply.
They know that we've got no use for them, but I wonder if they really know the depth and profundity of our disrespect for them.
Of course, given how much we care about what they think, I can't imagine that our disrespect bothers them much.
They don't want to come out of the hills and swamps anyway.
