so does this mean we will get the info about the operations going down in area 51, he might slip up after getting his hands on top secret info! I can only imagine the technology they have in that place and what advancements they have come across without notifying the rest of the world. With essentially endless funding and resources it would be awesome to work there!

Regardless of the other content in the article, I think it's time people stopped calling names when referring to the president of the united states. It's just doesn't look mature.

I think it'd be irresponsible to do anything else.
The president wants to keep a database full of muslims, but calling him names is the problem? He's appointed actual white nationalist Steve Bannon his chief of staff, but saying so is the real issue?

He appointed Steve Bannon to be a strategist and advisor. Many were worried that Bannon would end up the chief of staff, which would have been a significantly more powerful position. Instead Reince Priebus is the chief of staff.
48 hours ago the meme was "Bannon is going to be chief of staff! What horror!" Then, when he didn't actually do it, the fretting is over how the chief strategist of the campaign is also going to be an adviser in the White House (which isn't all that surprising).
Not that Bannon isn't a POS, and not that Breitbart isn't despicable. It's just not helpful to inaccurately overstate his role.

Beyond a single sentence with a few choice quotes from Democrats, the only "names" this article calls Trump are "commander-in-chief" and "president-elect".

I guessed you missed this little bit, emphasis added. Albeit, it's showing their approval of other people's speech, who did much worse than "calling him names":
Caught off guard by Hillary Clinton’s election defeat, Democrats who defended these powers under President Obama may suddenly be having second thoughts as the White House gets handed over to a man they described — with good reason — as “unhinged,” and “dangerously unfit.”

Speaking as a middle-lower class, middle-aged white male, born, raised in and retired to Middle America, this is bad why?
Although we prefer Alt Right or it's Alt West subset to distinguish us from the Alt White Daily Stormer types.
