If you hate Trump, when did you start hating him?

Before he even ran for office? Was it when he went down the escalator? When he was nominated? When he won the election? In the last year? And if you like, tell me source of information you used that made you begin hating him. (optional).

Going into two years of his election. That's when it became crystal clear to me I'd been conned.

Before I heard of him. Because it's not 'him', it's what's wrong with him. E.g., I am against lying, much less pathological lying. I'm against sociopaths being able to harm others. And so on.

Thank you for showing that my expectation for people to see through him is PARTLY right.

Over 30 years ago. I don't hate him, I just think he is an arrogant douchebag. Even today as the guy who is supposed to be the leader of our country, all he can do is talk about himself.

I don't hate the man. Hate is irrational. I think this is when I lost all respect for him and began to realize that he was a fraud and a conman, among other things:

I don't hate the man.

The moment I really started looking upon him with disdain was when he insulted John McCain's military service despite Trump not serving.

I don't mind that Trump didn't serve, in fact I don't even blame him for draft dodging. Vietnam was a morally questionable war in which we were backing up a side that was as bad as the people we were fighting. I don't blame Donald one bit for not wanting to go there.

But to do that and then insult a man who risked life and limb for this country? Disgusting.

I honestly fought it. Tried to spin every bs tale of his into gold until I just couldn't stomach it anymore. I passed on my MAGA stuff to a buddy who also ended up jumping ship and also passing it on, then another and another.

Some of us watched him in the 1980's and saw him for the buffoon and failed fake-business-tycoon he was. His racism extends back to the 1970's when he and his daddy were hauled in on charges of discriminatory housing (apparently Trump just can't stand brown people). We watched him make his "conservative bones" on the racist "Birtherism" gambit. He's clearly a serial sex predator per his own admission.

He made fun of the disabled. He mocked an American POW for getting caught and tortured. He attacked the family of a fallen US Soldier.

During his tenure in the White House America has systematically done literally everything Putin wanted in regards to destabilizing western Europe. He's pulled us out of leadership positions in almost every way possible (from Paris Climate to the TPP). He's bumbled his way through speeches that sound more like a demented toddler with tertiary syphilis than the "Leader of the Free World". America is among the leaders the world in daily new deaths from COVID.

Honestly what's not to like about the guy?

I had made up my mind about that 24 karat ****heel when I learned how badly he ripped off his investors and vendors back in Atlantic City.

When he was nominated, I thought "That con man with all the tacky gold?!" and double checked that he was indeed the gilded scumbag I was thinking of.

The moment he announced as a presidential candidate for the GOP is the moment idiot leftists suddenly found their new hatred of Trump. The simple fact is that if Trump was not the front runner and hadnt won the election and if say, Cruz or Rubio had, the leftist response would have been as mindless and deranged as their hatred of Trump. It wasnt so much that Trump won...it is that Hillary lost the rat party ring of power and the Gollum HATES him.

I don't hate President Trump. I agree with some of his policies. I lost faith in him as a leader the more he tweeted and goes for name calling. I basically dislike the way he presents himself. Reads prepared narrative in a mono tone. But most of all is ego that is not backed up at times with facts. Not every thing is "historic", "never been done before", etc.

About 1 1/2 years into his term, I though he has got to go. I am tired of the lies , half truths, and not my fault type attitude. imo, he has got to go.

Hate is a strong word, but I disliked him before he ever ran for office, and have learned to despise him more every day he is in office. Knew he was unfit and he has proven it countless times. What I find is that rarely will you find a trump supporter that has ever figured out they are being played, he knew what was doing when he changed Parties, he found a gullible audience and uses it to his advantage every day.

The servile Left was called to hate Trump, like their lives depend on it.
But oh, how they loved the wealthy, powerful millionaire as they all scratched and clawed their way up the political ladder.

I've always known Trump was a horrible person, who was too incompetent to run something as big as America.

If Bernie would've won the democratic nomination, I might've voted for Trump as Bernie is way too left. But maybe not, especially seeing how Trump has mishandled the COVID19 virus.

Ditto. Trump is unworthy of the energy it takes to hate.

Anyone who’s known of and about Trump prior to the election, or even before his reality tv show, was already aware of his many deficiencies, delusions, and love of hating others for not being like him or not kissing his fat ass.

Always thought he was a lying douchebag from the beginning. When he took up the racist birther torch he cemented my opinion of him.
Now that he is using his presidency to damage the environment and rape public lands, I hate him......

I would’ve voted for Bernie because any of the Dem candidates would be far better than Trump, and because there was virtually zero chance that he would succeed in implementing his socialist agenda.

At worst, 4 years of Sanders would’ve been 4 years of nothing getting done. After almost 4 years of Trump’s agenda, I could’ve lived with that.

Why do you love a person accused of 25 sexual assaults, most rapes?

Why do you love a person who brags about getting away with it because he has money?

Why do you love a person who managed to bankrupt multiple casinos and cannot get a loan from a US Bank?

Why do you love a person who brags about walking in on naked minors?


Donald Trump used to “stroll right in” to the dressing room of beauty pageants while the contestants - some of whom were teenagers - were naked or half-dressed, a former model has claimed. Tasha Dixon was 18 when she competed in the Miss USA pageant, winning the state crown.

“Our first introduction to him was when we were at the dress rehearsal and half naked changing into our bikinis,” Ms Dixon told CBS.“He just came strolling right in. There was no second to put a robe on or any sort of clothing or anything. Some girls were topless. Other girls were naked.”
.
.
.
Four women who competed in the 1997 Miss Teen USA beauty pageant also said the Republican used to walk in. Some of the girls were as young as 15. Former Miss Vermont Teen USA, Mariah Billado, told Buzzfeed: "I remember putting on my dress really quick because I was like, 'Oh my god, there's a man in here." . . .Mr Trump said on the Howard Stern radio show in 2005 that he was “allowed”, as the owner of the pageant, to go backstage while the contestants were getting dressed.“You know they’re standing there with no clothes. Is everybody OK? And you see these incredible looking women. And so I sort of get away with things like that.”

Never hated him, but certainly never liked him. I don't hate anyone, but I certainly despise some people. Odd as it may seem, there is a difference.

I have despised him since 2015. Before that I was ambivalent.
