Trump thinks half the country are "Trump haters"...

...and, therefore, he could never get a fair shake from anyone that was not on his side.

I do not think half the country "hated" him before he was in the White House? Then they saw him for what he was - a criminal, a liar, a misogynist, a thief, and someone that tried, and still is trying, to destroy our country. A hypocrite of the highest order.

But, even then, it is not that the people hate him personally, so much as they hate his deeds. As the good book says, love the sinner, hate the sin. I think that is where most of the country stands.

He will be judged for his deeds, or misdeeds, not whether he is hated by anyone.

1. Half isn't enough. Somebody as morally bankrupt as TFG ought to be hated

My next bank—commit lots of other vile crimes so people hate you (or your actions) and I can’t be convicted.

8. I think most of us don't like him or his deeds. He is quite clearly, scum.

To me it’s not about him, he is what he is. What I hate is how so many vote for him knowing what he is. That’s a serious problem about the character and/or lack of intelligence of this country.

For many New Yorkers like me, Trump has been a festering boil for decades. Trump moved to Florida because he knows most of us hate him on many levels: hypocrisy, misogyny, deadbeat, conman, scam artist, cheat, liar, freak and all-around scumbag. Did I leave anything out?

In fact, it amazes us that so many Americans can’t see his bullshit!

...noted, all Trump had to do was defer to the people who were actual experts and let them do their jobs. He would then have been free to eat hamberders...er...hamburgers and tweet all day long. And he would have skated to reelection.
