Trump haters. You hate Trump and you want hate on him and remove him from office.
But, if you were President after Obama, what would you have done that would make you a better President than Trump?

I don't want hate on him. He seems to though.
Which is one thing I'd try not to do: promote hate, fear and division.
I'd also try and do what every other President besides Trump has done: realize the campaign is over and the job involves being President of the entire country and not just those who voted for him.
There are probably dozens of things that Trump has sucked at, but I think those two very basic goals are things Trump could have accomplished quite easily and chose not to.

@carsonfry I just mentioned two relatively easy things, that might well have resulted in less "hate on" the President.
You want some more substantive stuff?
Don't piss on your own people and don't ask for loyalty to yourself personally instead of to the office.
Accept that you're not the king, but merely an executive in a tripartite government. One piece of major legislation was passed in the last two years with a solidly Republican Congress. Granted, that's not all Trump's fault, but too much time was spent protecting him and not trying to do actual legitimate legislative work.
Pretend to have a semblance of morality and compassion. Charlottesville, McCain's funeral and Puerto Rico were examples of where a tiny bit of human empathy could have helped the country emotionally as well as made for a stronger President.
Lying... I'll skip that one, because some of that is part of the job, but not doing so compulsively about just about everything all the time would be good. Lets say lie less and do it more judiciously.
Don't act like it's all a game that will be over when your done. Tax cuts and judges excepted, the only even arguably worthwhile actions have been executive actions, lots of which were just about reversing Obama's executive actions. If the next guy wants to do what Trump did and reverse every decision, he can.

@WalksWith Thanks, but I think we need real heroes in Congress and at the voting booths in November, and good people in government doing their jobs to help run the country in the meantime, especially with a hurricane hitting.
Ranting on social media is more like therapy, tbh.
