"Respect" seems to have two senses. Every one is entitled to our respect, as being a person, but that doesn't mean that some also deserve our contempt on account of the way that person behaves. And every day Trump reminds us of that.
I wouldn't agree that everyone is entitled to our respect. I would, however, agree that everybody should be treated with respect but that is not the same thing.
