I consider Trump a legitimate president. He won. I don't care for him and didn't vote for him, but based on the US election system, he won.
Right.
Unfortunately, he is not executing the job anywhere near the definitions of defending the Constitution, not enriching himself with each passing day from his job, representing those who did and did not vote for him, and so forth.
I think it's fair to say although he is the elected official, he is not carrying out the job in anything like an legitimate manner, regardless of one's politics.
Trump does not want to be the President of anybody other than his base.
I do not think Trump ever considers those who did not vote for him.
MO, having only lived in only one congressional district won by a person I voted for, it is common. I did vote for Ted Poe. With the exception of Ted Poe, most congressmen don't give a damn about their constituents who voted for the others.
IMO, that's the real problem we are having in DC. The gerrymandering allows the elected to choose their voters instead of the other way around.
History will not consider him a legitimate president, either. He will always have an asterisk next to his name with the caveat, "in an election tainted by collusion with and interference by a hostile foreign government."

Dean: ‘People Don’t Actually Really Consider Trump a Legitimate President’
I think that we have reached a turning point in American history. After Trump leaves the White House, there will be a raft of new anti-corruption legislation and campaign finance legislation. Individual 1 has exposed weaknesses in how we choose our elected officials, we can no longer ignore.
This will be Trump's legacy, that he gave us a wake-up call, to carry out badly needed upgrades to our system of government. Changes that would ensure that a charlatan like him could never again hijack our nation and bring his gang of criminals along with him, are badly needed.
The idle talk by some of Trump's supporters that Mueller's investigation has uncovered nothing, will make laughing-stocks out of them, when the results are finally revealed and many indictments are issued. Despite their claims, nothing is known about the results of Mueller's investigation, except for the indictments he's already delivered. Will Trump's supporters be silenced when all his wrongdoings are made public? My guess is that the less-irrational half of them will recede from discussion forums. But we'll probably be hearing from the rest of them for some time. If they haven't already recognized Trump for what he is, no amount of facts and reality will change them. What a pathetic existence awaits that bunch.

More like all that will be mentioned as the childish excuse making for losing from the other side that it is
