Why do some people hate Donald Trump?

Many past presidents have been strongly disliked by large portions of Americans. The source of the dislike was mostly the president’s policies. For instance, George Bush was strongly disliked by many Americans mostly for his Iraq war policy. The current dislike for President Trump, however, goes much deeper.

Some people actually hate the president. Some people are so hateful that they react violently toward Trump supporters. But why do people hate him?

There are a number of reasons, but the most significant is simply that he beat Hillary Clinton. Many people have not gotten over that and have hated Trump from election night forward. Some who hate him seemed to have influenced investigates into Trump. Others have simply yelled, “Impeach forty-five.”

The hate for Trump seems to be fed by some of his personality flaws. He also is very straight forward, quick to respond and he has many of the “in your face” traits found in people from Queens New York where he was raised. And sometimes he does say things unfiltered. His opponents, as well as the vast majority of the mainstream media, always seem willing to add to the hate when his communication is not clear.

Many hate Trump because they say he is a racist. That mostly stems from Trump not clearly expressing himself and not in a politically correct manner…
