Why the hate?

Why do quite a few people hate Donald trump?, I am very interested in what people have to say, however if you do have a reason please state what it is and provide the facts to back up your statement.

There are policy issues of course. But one major problem is that he is a douchebag-- he speaks crudely and routinely demeans people- not just his enemies, but friends too.

He's also a an unprincipled self-centered narcissist.

A major problem is that he doesn't really have the knowledge, or the capacity to acquire knowledge that is required to be president.

A related problem is that in spite of his ignorance, he thinks he knows everything better than the people who actually do know stuff.

@WoodyAq I see, however i would refute that by saying every human has the capacity to learn and develop, also narcissism is just a natural byproduct when a person achieves worldly success as you have to put yourself over everyone else in order to climb the ladder of success.

Also as a final point i think most people are so withered by politics that literally anything else apart from your standard politician would seem like a godsend.

But hey that's just my subjective opinion, however i still remain confused by the overall the vitriol surrounded by him as the other option was literally a person surrounded in email scandals and had the support of most of the media and one of the richest families in the known world the Soros family.

@Aiminna But Trump isn't healthily narcissistic the way successful people often are--- he's pathological. And you can only learn thingd that you know you don't know, and it takes discipline. Trump really doesn't know what he doesn't know, and hos selc-discipline is weak.

As for the other candidate having too much baggage- Trump has all the same baggage and so much more.

I like maverick politicians generally, but this guy just isn't thoughtful enough, principled enough, or pleasant enough to admire.

@Aiminna Well see that's just it.. they don't see what Hillary did as a crime because it's their chosen political group. Look at this from another perspective. Hillary defended a child rapist back in the 70s plus on top of that what put the final NAIL in the coffin was despite having NO WITNESSES present Hillary told the courts that she "heard" that the girl fantasized about older men. It's in the court transcripts and there were no witnesses present. That finally let him off. Hillary even stated that he was guilty on tape after the fact. It was him and another male.

[b]Isn't it liberals always going on about how law enforcement is so biased and courts are biased?[/b]

Well I can tell you quite literally (like as literal as one could get) the number one response I've received is:

[quote]"oh but the courts wouldn't allow Hillary to do that... she'd lose her license." [/quote]

Because NOW all of a sudden it's their chosen group political preference and the courts and law enforcement can't do ANYTHING WRONG. Right?

@SatanBurger you guys are going to have to get over your Hiliary fixation. She isn't president, Trump is.

@WoodyAq If Hillary had won this still wouldn't have been brought up. It would have been swept under the carpet like that girl's rape because that was politically motivated. Hillary had done that as a favor for another person by her own words. What favor do you ask? It sure wasn't a favor to protect that girl! It was a favor which won Hillary political favoritism.

[b]As for Trump[/b].. even a few years before Trump announced he was running the forces who are now known as "anti Trump" were the same forces shutting down colleges because of any little minor infraction. Regular comedians won't even go on college campuses anymore. Now it's a little bit worse. They have even shut down local businesses. It's not a "Trump" thing but I'd argue this type of attitude has been growing for more than a few years. It hasn't just been conservatives under attack but many libertarians as well. That's why I know anti Trumpers are pure bullshit.

@SatanBurger I'm a conservative and I'm antitrump ...
SatanBurger · 36-40, F
@WoodyAq I didn't mean "every single person who is anti Trump" that still doesn't change the fact that MOST of the anti Trump sentiment is the same sentiment that's been an issue on local businesses and colleges. Most of what we see is coming from what has been lingering and building for years.

Evergreen ate its own when liberal college professors came under attack from the far left so badly they had to go to the board just to voice concerns after groups held them hostage in their own classrooms and threatened any student who voiced their opinion.

Sorry but violence isn't just "random" that's a myth!

@SatanBurger but you do accept there are very good reasons to be anti-Trump that have nothing to do with that?
