Emotional expression: Trump vs. tRump

A name, like Trump, should begin with a capitalized letter T. But if one deliberately makes it lower cased, such as trump or tRump, does such behavior mean showing a contempt toward the person Trump?

Thanks in advance

Context:

tRump gets jail time no matter what he does. Even if he pardons himself, he will get state charges for himself and most if not all of his family that will get them prison time. This is a corrupt family! "My father told me it was ok to do it this way" or "Roy Cohn said this was legal" is not a defense under the law. He hasn't played the game square enough to get political cover. He has thumbed his nose at the people that could of protected him.

It might do, but there is clearly no such intention in this case.

@oristarA,
The writer is emphasizing the word "rump," a person's backside, by writing "tRump." It's an expression of contempt.

Do you think so? I interpreted it as a typo, caused by (a) the proximity of the T and R keys, and (b) a mistimed press/release of the shift key. He spells it "Trump" in other posts.

@centrox,
It has been done several times over by different posters for a while now. Those doing it continually also show disdain for Mr.Trump on a regular basis.

Definitely, contempt (or more).

Is it, then, a "meme"? Will it turf him out in 2020?

Does TRump work the same way with t being capitalized?
