There is SO much criticism of Trump, in the fake news media, in the leftist leaning of forums like this one. We should be talking about the failure that was Joe Biden's presidency instead of always picking on Donald Trump.

BUT why is there THIS much criticism of Trump?

Poll choices above and you can make up your own "theories."

Because he's a malignant narcissist scumbag piece of shit liar grifter rapist seditionist felon serial adulterer and tax cheat for starters.
 
Well, it's not because he is so good.

Dysfunctional Donald would have you believe it is because people just naturally like to criticize someone who is rich just because of wealth envy. But that is not true. Sure. Some of that goes on. But most people are not that shallow. Human character overall is not judged by possessions. It is judged by character. It is judged by actions. Dysfunctional Donald is lacking in good character. He is a divider. His actions are very controversial, inviting criticism. He is constantly attacking other people, mocking them, insulting them. That is extremely shallow.

He also does plenty of wrong things, illegal things, mean things. This appeals to immature minds and there are plenty of them out there. That's low class. There is so much to criticize about Dysfunctional Donald entire books have been written about it. They were not written out of hatred. They were written to tell the world about Dysfunctional Donald. Only his supporters choose to ignore the wealth of information available that causes people who respect good character to avoid Dysfunctional Donald like the plague.

The reason I call him Dysfunctional Donald is because that is what he is. Donald Trump suffers from Narcissistic Personality Disorder. Don't believe it? Here is a list of the symptoms and how they act. It describes him to a T:

  • Have an unreasonably high sense of self-importance and require constant, excessive admiration.
  • Feel that they deserve privileges and special treatment.
  • Expect to be recognized as superior even without achievements.
  • Make achievements and talents seem bigger than they are.
  • Be preoccupied with fantasies about success, power, brilliance, beauty or the perfect mate.
  • Believe they are superior to others and can only spend time with or be understood by equally special people.
  • Be critical of and look down on people they feel are not important.
  • Expect special favors and expect other people to do what they want without questioning them.
  • Take advantage of others to get what they want.
  • Have an inability or unwillingness to recognize the needs and feelings of others.
  • Be envious of others and believe others envy them.
  • Behave in an arrogant way, brag a lot and come across as conceited.
  • Insist on having the best of everything — for instance, the best car or office.

At the same time, people with narcissistic personality disorder have trouble handling anything they view as criticism. They can:

  • Become impatient or angry when they don't receive special recognition or treatment.
  • Have major problems interacting with others and easily feel slighted.
  • React with rage or contempt and try to belittle other people to make themselves appear superior.
  • Have difficulty managing their emotions and behavior.
  • Experience major problems dealing with stress and adapting to change.
  • Withdraw from or avoid situations in which they might fail.
  • Feel depressed and moody because they fall short of perfection.
  • Have secret feelings of insecurity, shame, humiliation and fear of being exposed as a failure.
 
The thing is, they'll talk about "Oh you just hate him".

As if one could not be objective in coming to hate him and he could actually be bad.

Trumpists are just... Such bad people.

The way they lie, the way they twist reality, the way they're so willing to ignore everything to continue supporting this man for seemingly only malevolent reasons.

While MAGA world decries going to war with Iran, they are chomping at the bit to use the military against Blue States and Cities, openly talking about "liberating" these places from Democrats...

As I've always said, Trump isn't the issue, it's those that vote for him and they are unwilling to let in even the tiniest of light into their dark, shadowy, corrupt, ugly, violent, idiotic fantasy world where being an awful, ignorant, selfish, idiotic person is not something discouraged, it's elevated to the highest office.

The criticism of Trump is taken by them as a criticism of themselves because it's a cult.

And they literally can't handle it.

They're too far gone.
 
His culture, worldview, and mindset are against the most fundamental values which created this country and made it great (Pluralism, secularism, tolerance, respect for science, respect for democracy, freedom, land of opportunity for all, welcoming to immigrants, civil rights, etc, etc...).

He is creating an American which would have been unrecognizable to the founding fathers of this nation.
 
Trump is an awful human being, deserving of much of the criticism that has been heaped on him since he got bored with just lying to poeple and screwing over customers, contractors, and anyone open stupid enough to enter into any business arrangement with him. Now he is trying to bully and bullshit the world.

He is an absolute disaster for our country.

Your rather lengthy assessment sounds like an awful lot of TDS ;)
 
Mostly because he had the audacity to run against Hillary Clinton and beat her, thus denying her the office she had felt entitled to for years and preventing her from being the first woman president.

So lots and lots of TDS then?
PLUS a pretty wild theory. Criticism of Trump is because of Hillary?? WOW. Not because of Obama or Biden? Or the fake media? or George Soros?

You would expect the Democrat media to be critical. For 10 years negative coverage is consistently 95% or higher. I would be concerned if MSNBC or CNN started praising Trump. One of Trumps great strengths is to tune out the noise

Lately there have been a few valid criticism or rather concerns. We are walking a tight rope in Iran on the brink of a potential. Many neocons from both parties pushing into war. Separating out foreign Nationals here and working illegally in agriculture or hospitality for special treatment not what we voted for. We are not deporting nearly fast enough with no to my knowledge arrest of employers hiring ineligible workers. Both of these issues are works in progress.

I chose Other. TRUMP IS THE CAUSE....period.

Amen!

Not even close.
Here's a hint, part of the reason- Trump once donated to Hillary Clinton's campaign when he was a Democrat. Know why? Because she was running against that black Muslim from Kenya for the Democratic nomination. That tells you two things about Trump- he's a racist and he's an opportunistic turncoat.
That's just a start but it has nothing to do with Clinton.

Yeah, it definitely isn't the fact that Trump is a fraud and rapist. It's all about Clinton.

Beating Hilldog was his biggest transgression.

I've since learned Hillary built a replica of the west wing and pretending to be President after her loss.

Character.

He has none.

This is a man while running for president proudly exclaimed he can grab any woman by the '*****' and get away with it.

He is a convicted rapist and fraud.

What's to like? He's a lying pig.

The most VALID criticism of Joe Biden is he is BORING!

That's what legitimate criticism is called in the cult. If dear leader is above criticism then, as the fool says, any criticism = hatred. This is true regardless of whether or not the criticism is warranted.
