Trump hates America and Americans.

[notdarkyet]

I’ve thought and contemplated why does he do the things he does? which is terrible and evil. He lowers all environmental standards which took years to develop. Now coal can dump its ash, car emission regulations have beenp gutted. Face it he doesn’t care if we have clean water or air. Because he doesn’t care about us. He gets rid of endangered species act and declared open season on bears and grey wolves. Also all the national parks are open for extraction companies to degrade, rape and pollute. He brought back the pesticide that kills bees . Why? Because he hates everything we care about, because he hates America and Americans. He rips away innocent children from their mothers and drugs them, and they are getting abused. Why would he do this? I’m sure he’s making money off of this misery. The private prisons are making millions. Another way to suck the treasury. We now have over a trillion dollar debt and growing. Trump wants another tax cut for rich people. He wants his wall, billions, he wants his parade, he just gave farmers 12 billion he wants to golf every weekend and stick us with the bill, but the people in this country can’t get health care or food stamps. Why does he do this? He is trying to bankrupt the country because he is trying to destroy us. Why? Because he hates us?. Why? maybe because the banks wouldn’t loan to him when he was broke. He carries anger resentment and grudges forever. He turned to Russia. That’s why Putin owns his and our country is being raped and plundered. Magattes. Get a clue. Trump hates you and like everyone else he has touched like Rick Wilsons new book is titled: Everything trump Touches Dies.

1. trump has an angry, criminal mind

2. But that's his whole "base" though!

What Trump does, he does to please that damn base. You know - the "I'm more patriotic than thou" assholes. But he's finding out that the presidency doesn't just apply to only Fox News viewers. Bush found that out very quickly, but Trump definitely hasn't.

3. If you base your predictions on what Trump will do on the idea that he hates everything good...

...you'll be right most of the time. My guess is his upbringing instilled in him a hatred of adults and he's determined to stick it to anyone who wants what responsible adults want.

4. Even Bush, for all his flaws, still had to abide by our system of checks and balances.

Trump threw all of that out the window. Bill Maher was right a few weeks ago when he said that the GOP is now the party of "what would a dick do?". They just don't care anymore, and it shows.

The man who makes Democrats miss George W Bush.

6. He's mentally defective and hates everyone

Even himself. A psychiatrist explains what he is dealing with.

7. He doesn't have the moral maturity to even think in terms of hating America or Americans

I do think that he hates Obama and a lot of it stems from that.

tRump is a racist and Obama is black, and Obama made fun of/humiliated him in public.

If Herman Cain had won instead of Obama and had then humiliated him the way he thinks Obama did, he'd be sticking it to the conservatives instead of the liberals.

He doesn't give a f**k one way or another about America or Americans except insofar as what being an American citizen can do for him. His loyalty is to Donald J Trump first, foremost, and always. Money and power comes second and family comes a distant third. Everything else is not even on the radar screen.

He also likes power and likes to foment conflict. Even the Bernie fans wouldn't give him the adulation that the fascists do because the cult of personality doesn't have the type of appeal to democratic socialists as it does to the fascists. So, if Cain had won he wouldn't be able to feed his hunger for power and conflict as easily.

At this point he's just reacting and he's doing what his racist, corporatist, fascist advisors tell him. If it makes his fans cheer, if it makes people who liked Obama angry, and if it gets him attention, he's happy. He doesn't have the moral maturity to even think in terms of hating America or Americans - it is simply the people who cheer him vs the people who don't. He doesn't even think long term, big picture, or consequences.

Now, his fans - they do hate modern America and all it theoretically stands for. They love America for white Christian males. As we've slowly crept towards the actualization of what America really stands for, and non-whites, non-Christians, and non-males have started to experience a few of the benefits of the idealized America, Trump fans have rejected the idealized America more and more. They are willing to destroy it to try to go back to deeply flawed 1780's America.
