I Hate Donald Trump

I don't know Trump, not personally anyway. I know only what he says and does, and 99% of it is objectionable in the extreme. What I hate, if that's the proper word, is how he has given voice to the xenophobic population of our country, of how he has divided our country as never before.

People with small, bitter/hateful, self-serving minds have flooded to his cause, and much to my chagrin, there seems to be many of them. Many of these people have lived small lives. Never traveled, never seen what is on the other side of their city/community, much less their state or country. They simply live and think small. They have no notion for anything not them. Worse, they fear and hate anything not them, and to my way of thinking, that is 180 degrees out and totally inconsistent with what we are, or have espoused our country to be. It goes against our founding principles, against what I and many before me fought for.

Worse yet is that there are large numbers of people who follow and support him who have not lived small lives. These people are knowingly destroying our country with their greed, the self-serving, privileged actions and rhetoric.

It is a time I thought I would never see. I am ashamed of us as a country; but proud to stand against Trump and his followers, and ever will be. Time, reason and decency will prevail, of that I am certain. Until then I stand opposed to this man and his followers, totally, absolutely, and without equivocation.

I could go on and on, but I suspect you get what my thoughts are.

To suggest that Trump was the only alternative to Hillary, and therefore is now the best President, is a suggestion that in and of itself, is inane. To say brashness, or that he is a rich man and therefore somehow a good choice, is inane. Look at how he became rich - no, really, take a look and study it.

I do not think Hillary was the best choice, nor am I a Liberal. I've voted in every Presidential election except one, and that was years and years ago, and I've never voted along any party line. I've voted both for Republican and Democratic nominees.

Regardless, he is not a good, or even decent President, and it doesn't matter who went before, who he won against, or anything other than is he good for the country. Actually, only time will tell; but for me, for now, I stand with what I said.

@veoh112 When you compare a handful of business failures against scores of huge victories you see how that argument falls flat.
