The character thing doesn't necessarily stem from hatred. It is an objective observation. While one should give him credit for his achievements, one shouldn't look past the fact that he makes some strange and often vulgar comments. I, for one, am a bit puzzled by his preference in foreign women, and I am not a fan of divorce, although, looking about, being married or not, being divorced or not, being in a hetero/homosexual relationship seems to be no big deal. So are sexual escapades.
Of course we should expect better from the leader of the free world, but herein lies the hypocrisy. We as people want to do what we want whenever we want, and no one better criticize us for it, or else we call the some sort of phobe. What's more, we are quick to judge those who aren't as well spoken, although I suspect millions of us fall into that category, if we speak the same language at all. We are compassionate after all. We also like to criticize crude and foul language, but are so very generous with vulgarity of our own.
So, all in all, criticizing Trump for his character is necessary, esp if it is constructive criticism. How can he improve if one is afraid to speak the truth? As for the rest, I call it shock and awe. (please forgive my choice of words). It almost seems that many are still in shock, in disbelieve, that Trump won the presidency over what one assumed would be a landslide victory. Will we ever be in awe? History will be the judge of that.
So now one is left with 2 choices. Foaming at the mouth as so many did during Obama's presidency...and yes, if it looked foolish to you then, one might want to reflect on that...or just observe the facts, calmly, knowing another election is coming up. I, for one, won't forget the manners my folks taught me. That is something everyone has to decide for him/herself.
