You're saying that just because my personal sensitivities happen to run across where the president has marked his territory by pissing upon the ground there, it's my problem.
I totally disagree.
There is such thing as being considerate. As a member of society, you are required to be considerate to others, no matter what office you were elected (or in this case, NOT elected) to. The president has in no way shown any consideration for the opinions represented by my half of the population. On top of that, he is doing the job that appeals to the other half of the population VERY POORLY.
Humans are not self-contained animals. They possess empathy and communal responsibility. Some more than others. To feel hurt when one's fellows are slighted is not a weekness, for if nobody felt as such, there would be no such thing as a community, a state or a nation. Leaders are borne of the sympathy they feel for others. It is those who involve themselves for the benefit of others that ultimately make our society the great civilization that it is.
So, if you're telling me that it's MY problem that the buffoon in office is rubbing me raw worse than 75-grit sandpaper, I've got a big middle finger to show to your line of logic.
