I'm not sure why you hate this man so much. You probly didn't think all that much of him either way when he was a popular celebrity real estate mogul... but now the media tells you to hate him, so...
You must be a troll, but you are a good one because I am going to respond.
Flagpole doesn’t hate too many people because I am a lover, but I will admit that I hate Donald Trump. He is an awful person.
Why? (these are in no particular order):
1) He’s a bully. He incited violence by telling people early on at his rallies that he would pay for their legal bills if they punched a protestor. He set the tone for such violent crap (actually on both sides) from then on.
2) He’s a misogynist. This is indisputable. He’s on tape saying that he can’t say he respects women. He routinely walked right into the dressing room of Miss Universe contestants completely unannounced. What a freakin’ creep.
3) What he told Billy Bush was deplorable. Melania then said that Billy egged him on. BS. Trump thought of himself as the alpha male there, and Billy was a young reporter who was enchanted a bit with Trump’s celebrity.
4) He’s such a liar. Independent fact checkers have found him to tell more lies than any other President or Presidential Candidate in history. Where are the tax returns he said he would provide? Where is the independent prosecutor he said he would get against Hillary when he was elected? He said Comey called him and asked for the dinner meeting. What?! No freakin’ way. If he’s not a liar, then he is just delusional to the nth degree. Obama wiretapped him, there were 3 million illegal voters in California, the news doesn’t report terrorist attacks, there was widespread voter fraud in New Hampshire, and on and on and on and on. He is a lying machine.
5) In addition to being a liar, he is just full of sh!t. “Two Corinthians†is what he said to students at Liberty University. He wouldn’t know the Bible from the Koran. I actually don’t care if he does or not, but he portrays himself as a Christian. Such BS.
6) He’s delusional. He said he looks in the mirror and sees a 35 year old. Seriously?
7) In such a short time in office (actually beginning before he took office) he has alienated many of our allies and has been chummy with Vladimir Putin. There is simply no reason to be friendly with that guy unless he owes something to Putin. Putin is a bad actor in the world, and because of that, Russia is our enemy, not our ally.
8) He’s just so stupid. I owe George W. Bush a big apology, because Bush is freakin’ Einstein compared to Trump. Responding to criticism that his vocabulary was lacking, he said, “I Know Words. I Have The Best Words.†Well, thanks for the evidence.
9) He’s a racist. He was sued for housing discrimination. He clearly has the wrong idea about Mexicans and Muslims. I have no problem with deportation. Obama was the “Deporter in Chiefâ€. Trump has taken his rhetoric to a whole new level, and it’s wrong.
10) He doesn’t take advice from anyone. Everyone close to him and even those not, have told him to stop with the tweeting. He continues to do it and shoots himself in the foot almost every time. Mark Cuban said he realized he couldn’t support him when he discovered that Trump refused to read anything to help prepare for being the president.
11) He is a certifiable narcissist. It has long been said that he will only read material if it is about him. His staff has resorted to mentioning his name throughout his briefings so that he will continue to read them.
12) He is not up to the task of being president. His attention span has been measured at 12 seconds. He asks for information from his staff to have lots of charts and graphs and to be limited to one page. Is this a child?
I could go on. I think though that bully, misogynist, liar, racist, delusional, incapable narcissist is about enough to explain why I hate this man. This isn't a person with one flaw. He is flawed in just about every way an adult human can be. He is deserving of the hate he gets and deserving of his historically low approval rating.
