Why I and People Like Me Hate Trump

People hate Trump for all sorts of reasons and they’re all valid. Why do I hate him? Well, I’ll tell you.

I hate that he represents the worst combination of arrogance, ignorance, cruelty, and power. He’s the embodiment of everything wrong with American politics–corruption, racism, greed, and narcissism–and he’s turned politics into a grotesque reality show. I see him not only as a bad president but a symptom of a much deeper rot in our system: capitalism run amok, cultish nationalism, and the glorification of stupidity.

He brags about things he should be ashamed of. He lies like it’s breathing. He panders to white supremacists, demonizes immigrants, mocks the disabled, and dodges accountability at every turn. And somehow, he became president.

I hate him because he made it clear that cruelty isn’t a bug in the system–it’s a feature. He ripped children from their parents and bragged about it. He treated a pandemic like a PR problem and let hundreds of thousands die while pushing bleach as a cure. He spent years dog-whistling to fascists until the whistles became bullhorns, and then claimed no responsibility when his mob stormed the Capitol.

He doesn’t just represent conservative politics–he represents a cult of personality built on lies, resentment, and fear. He’s not just a symptom of decline, he accelerates it. He made it okay for the worst people to say the quiet part out loud–open racism, misogyny, transphobia, conspiracy theories–he gave it a platform and a suit.

He’s everything people warned us about in history books, except with a golf course and a gold toilet.

And the worst part? Millions cheer him on because of this, not in spite of it. That’s what really makes my blood boil.

Trump didn’t break America. He just held up a mirror, grinned, and asked if we wanted to make it worse.

  1. Even more than that Orange twit I think his arse kissers annoy me more, they say they are for freedom and smaller, more transparent government then they excuse every dirty trick he pulls.

    1. They claim to be for smaller government, but Trump is making the government bigger and they are just going along with it. I don’t see how these people are afraid of an almost 80-year-old man who can’t form coherent thoughts/words and shits his pants on the regular.

      1. I remember when he was first up for election his cult kept saying – he’s going to drain the swamp – it’s more like he extended it, put a verandah, a gazebo and an archipelago on it.

        Oh yeah, a senile old poo pants, there’s a leader to inspire confidence.

      2. I didn’t even both to vote in that election. I hated Clinton and I refused to vote for a reality television star. I had a little bit more faith in my country back then, too, thinking “There’s no way this dolt is going to be the leader of the free world.” Here we are, almost ten years later, and he’s done it twice. I have no more faith in humanity. I say burn it all to the fucking ground.

      3. I feel the same, humans are at best stupid, at worst dangerous. I’ll bring the marshmallows to toast and single malt to drink to the end.

        I love the new name by the way, it’s very clever!

      4. Thank you. I’m glad you like the new name. I finally posted the link to my blog on Facebook and didn’t want people thinking I’m constantly suicidal. I needed something punchier.
