Why do people hate Trump?

[Anonymous]

Trump is a joke and a con man. He has failed at nearly everything he set out to do, from casinos to steaks. Everywhere he goes, he leaves a string of unpaid bills and molested women in his wake.

The one area he has succeeded? Conning lower- middle America into believing a born millionaire whose daddy bought him every privilege is “just like them.” On that measure, he exceeded beyond all expectations. All he had to do was tap into their basest instincts and most vile hate. And pretend to be successful on TV.

Trump is a symptom of a debased America. It’s beyond ironic that Christians elected the first openly atheist president. But Trump was willing to say whatever because he has no principles. And they loved him for it. Worshipped him for it. He made them feel good for being everything Jesus told them not to be, for validating their kooks and putting Amy Culty Barrett and that perv Beer Boof Kavanaugh on the court. If a disgusting and deluded set of kooks can be put on the highest positions of power, than why can’t some washed up, uneducated 50 year old white guy from rural America?

OP, if this is a legit post, I'm curious to know what country you emigrated from. Can you share with us?

Yes I am from India. Most replies I got are what I already mentioned- his moral values (which both parties are a problem) and the way he speaks.

I am willing to put those two aside and vote for him if he puts America First. Strong immigration laws and promise the country will have a border, that you can come only through the front door, build the economy and no wars.

Biden is no longer a choice for me. And none of the replies about Trump are any worse than what the other side is.

Most likely I am going to vote for Trump this time around unless they take him out by the plethora of court cases of which I think the timing is wrong.

It's going to be truly fascinating, though terrible, to see how feel when you realize that the people Trump is beholden to don't like brown people, and that includes you.

It actually blows my mind that people don't understand this.

That is a lie.

It is a lie almost as blatant and disgusting as the democrats’ lies about Trump allegedly being an antiSemite.

Really dems? An antiSemite with Jewish daughter? An antiSemite who chose a Jewish person as his closest advisor on Middle Eastern affairs?

Trump is not a racist. Trump is not an antiSemite. If anything, the Ivies and top universities are the institutions harboring antiSemites and racists.

Like I said, it's going to be fascinating, but terrible for you, when you realize the people that Trump is beholden to - the ones funding him, campaigning for him, writing his legislation - don't like any immigrants or minorities and seek to keep you out of public life, and perhaps more. We saw it with Trump's immigration policies. People who couldn't believe THEY were being deported.

Trump is heavily supported by Christian dominionists. I will give you a couple guesses about how diverse that movement is, and how they feel about non-Christians. If you think Trump is going lift one finger or make any effort on your behalf because he has a daughter that converted to Judaism I have a bridge to sell you. Every authoritarian and strongman follows a predictable pattern. This last may be a cheap shot, but I will bet anything that you are a Modi supporter as well.

Now it’s “Christian dominionists” ???

We’ve identified the conspiracy theorist in the thread.

Everyone: ignore PP. She is a crazy person who is making things up in her head.

Actually, PP nailed it. You are either writing from a troll farm or you aren’t half as knowledgeable about politics as you think you are.

In fact, this entire thread feel like a troll farm post because of the way the OP is responding to people.

Let me count the ways …

Pathological liar
Hypocritical
Fraudulent
Cheat
Cynical
Vulgar
Disloyal to wives and country
Divisive
Irrational
Semi literate
Polarizing
Undisciplined
Exploits worst aspects of people for his benefit
No morals
Taints everything he touches
Cowardly
Absurdly narcissitic

Just a few of the ways for sure.

He admits to sexual assault. Admitted to it and it's on tape.
Defamed his victims and was found guilty.
He cheated on taxes. Admitted to it. That's a crime.
Cheated small businesses by hiring them and refusing to pay them. That's illegal.
Tried to overthrow our democracy. Bragged about it and laughed as people were being hurt and even killed.
Lies about his own achievements and lies about his opponents non stop.
Makes fun of his supporters as poorly educated (they don't seem smart enough to care)
Said he could shoot someone on 5th avenue and his supporters would not care.
Lied and cheated banks and insurance companies
Went bankrupt more than once showing he's not the businessman he pretends to be (and doesn't pay his debts)
Stole classified documents and refused to return them. Broke the law by doing this and then showed them to people without clearance to brag.

He's low life scum and if you don't see that - you might be too.

Because he has no redeeming qualities. He is a pathological liar. He is a convicted rapist. He has no soul. He is the antichrist. I could go on but you should be getting the general idea.

I hate Trump (among many other reasons) because before him, I was never made to feel less than or unwelcome in this country. His unmitigated bigotry is unforgivable to me. You can look at his most recent bullying of Nikki Haley over her name and his birther nonsense as an example of how he has normalized a vision of America and patriotism that makes my skin crawl. I honestly cannot understand how any foreigner in America can support him.

Trump not only isn't afraid of hiding his bigotry, it's a selling point for him. Do I think all of his supporters feel the same way as he does? No, I don't. But it makes me deeply, deeply sad that a lot of people choose not care about his disgusting, playground bully-like behavior for the sake of more favorable policies for their tax bracket (or whatever).

OP here. During his first term, the way the media portrayed him I thought I was going to pack my bags and leave. Life went as normal actually, I did well in fact. He not only called Haley names, he also called out DeSantis in his childish way. I am not saying those are right things to do neither is his character but I don’t think he is as evil as he has been portrayed. There are many things wrong with the Democrats. I am against the indoctrination in schools that’s happening now promoted by the liberals. Like I said if Trump puts America First in his policies I don’t mind voting for him. I will be watching what his talking points are. That’s all matters to me not who the media pushes me to vote for

But trump doesn’t put America first, trump puts trump first and second and third.

So does Biden: he put Ukrainians before Americans. He put Israeli before Americans.

You are buying Russian propaganda.

Putin had been strong arming his protege fascist to withdraw US from NATO so he could continue illegal empire building and undermining of Western allies with fewer constraints. This is not good for US or our allies.

Russia cultivated, trained and armed Hamas over 17 years (together with Iran) in order to create distractions from his illegal invasions of peaceful neighbors. Iran is creating mayhem via proxies in the region purportedly to make itself less vulnerable. Neither Trump nor Putin care about anything but cementing their holds on power.

He was found liable for sexual assault by a jury of his peers. The FBI found classified documents at Mar-a-Lago. Michael Cohen has produced checks that reimbursed him for the illegal payment to Stormy Daniels. We have him on tape committing a crime in Georgia. And he's also on tape telling his followers to go down to the Capitol and fight like hell. Is that enough evidence for you?

If you lived through the Trumpen years and you still don’t understand at minimum the broad outlines to the issue, you’re not paying attention.

No, no. He actually raped a woman. There was a jury trial and everything.

It's amazing these folks don't believe Trump is a convicted rapist after he was convicted.

Don’t forget about the Russian collusion. And I think he sank the USS Maine in the Havana harbor too.

Obviously the reason people don’t know about all these things he did is because not enough of the people in show business, the news media, & academia are talking about him.

If we could just get a few actors, singers, professors, & journalists to mention anything negative about him, he wouldn’t last.

Maybe even if we could get the host of one of those late-night tv talk shows to mention him. Or SNL.

That's a lot of words. But I still don't actually know whether, to you, it's ok or not ok that he raped a woman.

He insulted Gold Star parents. He told the wife of a fallen soldier that “he signed up for it.” He’s dumb as rocks unless he’s figuring out how to rip someone off. He has zero class or professionalism. He tries be a tough guy - and even worse than that, he’s the biggest baby with the frailest ego I’ve seen. He has no desire to do anything unless it benefits him personally. He sues everyone that comes near him. He doesn’t by pay his bills - he stiffed lots of blue collar construction workers. 91 indictments. He threatens people who challenge him. He’s a bully and a man baby. He’s a dictator wannabe. He’s disrespectful to everyone unless he’s kissing their ass - like saluting a North Korean general or bragging about a love letter from dictator that starved his people, or another that behedded a journalist and imprisoned his mother. He can’t bother to learn about anything and thinks he can BS his way through any question. He takes nothing seriously except himself because of his massive, undeserved ego. He buried the mother of his kids in a golf course for the tax break. He lies, lies, lies. He’s disgusting in every way. Not one redeeming quality. Not one. And yes, I thought this little of him when he was a democrat too.

I wouldn’t hire him to mow my lawn and you wonder why I don’t want him to be president?

Just a few reasons
