Does any permanent Washington institution come to mind that likes Trump? It seems they all hate him. But why? What did he do?

Still not a reason for the visceral hate. At least not a rational reason.

no...which is a stronger endorsement than eleventy billion Florida legislators

He is hated because he speaks up more than anybody else.

Just go down the list of the most hated Republicans. They are usually referred to as "crazy". You see desantis supporters agreeing

It's ok to just openly campaign for him, you know. You don't have to pretend that you're actually curious about the answers to your "question".

Tom Clancy articulated this in Executive Orders.

Despite a terrorist attack taking out the entire SCOTUS, the sitting president and cabinet, and nearly all the House and Senate, “official Washington” constantly trashed the new President.

When asked what “official Washington” was with all those people dead, he was told “all the fricking bureaucrats working in government agencies and the lobbyists who normally control the politicians, all of which work the DC cocktail circuit.”

It trickles down to all institutions that are in bed with big government:

The media
CIA/ FBI/ DOJ
Big tech
Drug industry
Hollywood/ music
Academia

Never before has there been such a concentrated effort to take down one man

I’ve wondered this myself, what the mass extreme hatred?

There are multiple reasons but this is the big one, especially for people who didn't really have a problem with most of his policies. You're supposed to pay your dues in DC and climb the ladder, and it pissed them off that an outsider just came in and took the trophy without jumping through all the hoops.
