Hatred of Trump

Posted by observer on March 18, 2026, 11:05 am

I’ve been thinking about the excessive hatred that the Democratic leaders have for Trump. I’m not talking about the hoi polloi who fall in line like sheep, but the leaders.

It’s not hard to see why he would not appeal to some people, personality wise. But the intense viral death wish that the leadership show is so excessive leading them to vote against their own good just to defeat him. It’s the extent and intensity that are so incredible.

It does seem evil, so what would push it this far? I think the answer is being unveiled daily to us. It is the absolute corruption of the Democratic party being uncovered. They knew from the beginning that he would uncover it. Whether it’s the intel coverups, the Afghanistan disaster, Biden’s incompetence, Hillary’s antics, FBI and CIA misbehavior, voting irregularities, immigration, and the financial thievery of various organizations getting huge handouts, particularly in blue states, everything where they were in charge is completely contaminated.

None of us is so naive as to think dishonesty isn’t always a problem in government, but the scale of Democratic corruption is hard to wrap your mind around. They knew from the beginning. The troubling part is about the few good men they have. Did they not know? Do they not know? It seems like a potentially suicidal mission? Are they that desperate? Is there that much more that they fear being disclosed?

Smart people recognize that he is an unqualified imbecile elected by average American idiots.

That is more than enough to justify the hatred. If only smart people could vote there would never be another conservative administration.

You are part of the problem.

Smart people understand those who they disagree with.

I think you should spend more time trying to learn and understand, and spend less time insulting.

Trump is too hostile to democrats.

I agree with most of your post. Democrat leaders have done things wrong and many democrat voters are being unreasonable.

Trump is partly responsible for the problem too. His decision to bring back gerrymandering to help republicans just encouraged hostility among democrats. In press conferences he keeps attacking and complaining about democrats.

In his January 20, 2025, inaugural address, Trump stated that his "proudest legacy will be that of a peacemaker and unifier...". If he really wants to be a "unifier", he should do more to unite Democrats and Republicans. That's a tough job. I am not able to bring peace to the two political parties here on this board, and Trump is not brining peace either.

I agree that he is too hostile.

I think it’s unfortunately his reaction to all the personal attempts against him from the get go, and his common guy mentality with his business dealings. While I see this as a great negative in an American President, I think he feels that he is communicating with his MAGA supporters ( particularly laborers?) in a way they understand.

It seems deliberate when contrasted with the views of many that personally he is charming.

I don’t know how he, or anyone else, could be a unifier at this time in our history. My view is that we are very much in an ideological civil war now, the likes of which we haven’t seen before, with one side fundamentally opposed to many of our founding principles,
and the other desperately trying to hold onto the ones they like while ignoring others.

Republicans are like battered wives who keep going back to the man who gets drunk and beats them

Our troops, on behalf of Israel.

Ate you confused?

It’s the Islamists who are killing Iranians by the thousand. Trump is trying to stop that. The difference between mere opinion and informed opinion is that mere opinion is subjective, while informed opinion deals with facts and more than one side of an argument. Subjective opinions are emotional vs evidence based informed opinions.

His past and what he is doing to America

Nope! He'll still be living rent free in the space between your ears.

Who are the Leftists going to appoint to take on the GOP?
