I'm not talking about the bullcrap answers, sleaze, unfit, or any other adjective. For once I would love to see the Trump haters give a list (dont have to stop at 5)and back their list up with their words...not the MSM's generic bullcrap that keeps changing and you cant pin down.
If not 5 do a top 3 reasons because honestly I dont think I've seen that from either of you. I've seen runs his mouth, lost a debate, sleaze, talks too much, didnt stand up to the democrats and media on COVID. All of those are reasons he could have loss the election....
none explain your personal feeling on hating the man
Look at it this way, the next time someone questions you on this you have a record that you can point to and a quick copy and paste. If that's already out there then do that now.
There is one overriding objection to him from my perspective.
I think in the events of Jan 6, he fundamentally abdicated his role of President, and did so to promote a self-serving goal. There is no way a person in that office can: a) watch the riot progress for three hours and do nothing; or b) tweet out in that 3 hours an attack on Pence, and on the process of certification without being in dereliction of his oath to the office.
I think as such, he is fundamentally unfit for the office. There are reports that when Mark Meadows said to him that Pence was liable to be hung, Trump responded that 'maybe its right that he gets hanged' (paraphrase). I wont tag him with that statement, since it is hearsay. And Meadows is fighting tooth and nail to evade any subpoena. If that comment is true, it adds on to the stuff listed above.
He used the office in that manner in nothing but what could be described conservatively as a 'self-serving' manner.
I could care less that he runs his mouth, tweets mean tweets, is a sleaze, rattles off lie after lie, or, is kind of absolutely ignorant of much of the other nuances of the rule of law.
I supported every effort he made to fight the election results -- he has that right.
Many of them were fing bat **** crazy, but he still has that right. I dont think he 'incited' the riot, and I actually support a large number of his policies and achievements.
But, I rate him with the likes of Richard Nixon in how he subverted the Office of the President in that timeframe.
Straightforward enough WUKYG?
