The author wrote 'president', which I feel is disrespectful. You should capitalize such a powerful, respected position.Actually, the writer was following proper grammar, which doesn't care about feelings or respect. "President" is a proper noun and capitalized only when referring to a specific person who holds that title, i.e. "President Donald Trump" or "President Barack Obama." If used as a common noun, it is lowercased such as "The president is considering tougher penalties..."

Ok, so I am wrong per the rules of grammar, yet I still will continue to capitalize President, so long as it is President Trump.
If the office is captured by a Democrat, I shall write president

In this case it was referring to a specific president. Or is there more than one in office currently?

The words,”President” and “barack obama” should never be uttered or written in the same sentence.
