33. I've had a strong dislike for the Orange Asshole for years.

I grew up just north of NYC, and went back in 1984 after I got out of the Air Force. Hated the man and everything he stood for then, and my opinion has not changed any for the better over the years. Everyone knew he was a fraud and blowhard, but his destruction of the Art Deco friezes on the Bonwit Teller building so he didn't have to delay demolition by a couple of weeks when he built his ostentatious Tower to conspicuous consumption and outlandish opulence made pretty much every New Yorker really develop a deep and abiding hatred of the bloviating jerk.

Never had any desire whatsoever to watch anything he appeared on, and have never watched a single show that he was on. I *might* make an exception to this long-standing rule and watch his impeachment hearings, though.
