As a die hard libertarian, I find the blinding hate for Trump puzzling. At the end of the day, other than a single SCOTUS nominee, what has the man done? Seriously. No major legislation. No Constituion abusing Executive Orders or military incursions.

I just don't get it. At least the Obama hate had a basis: Obamacare, 8 years of perpetual bombing in the ME, overreaching Executive Orders, constant personal interjection into trivial affairs......

I have no problems with someone not liking Trump. It gets fun when I ask them why.

You needn't look any further than this: Babies cry when you take away their playthings. It really is that simple.

He ran and won the Presidency with a (R) next to his name.

It is simply because HRC didn't win and it was unexpected.

This same insanity would have happened no matter who won as long as it was a Republican.

It's probably because he lies constantly, spouts conspiracy theories, and targets individual people and businessmen like an authoritarian populist. Then there is the traitor thing with Putin and the Russian mafia. He's a petty liar who incites ignorance and distrust in American institutions among a great mass of his followers.

This is the guy who said Republicans shouldn't be so mean and conservative, says that nobody should cut Medicare or Medicaid or Social Security, spouts an anti-liberty message on global trade and immigration, and that we ought to remake the Republican Party into a "workers party."

As a supposed "die hard libertarian", how do you not get the hate? This guy is worse than Huey P. Long.

Because he represents all of us to the world. It's fricking embarrassing.

Why all the hate and turmoil in countries where we have tried to force regime changes? Same thing, only now we are doing it to ourselves.

It is intentionally created

You could substitute every "hate" in your post with "love" and it would still be applicable.

Why the Trump hate?

He says whatever he thinks like a child. He ignores his responsibility to the office and the people.

I voted for the guy but he is horrible. Scary.

Still better than Clinton.

There was an interesting comment on This Week.

The talking head said that Trump's core supporters see little different between Pelosi and Ryan. Trump is their sheet anchor. The only office holder they trust.

Probably one of the most important things that never happened in our country.

I agree, it is embarrassing that people are so easily swayed to the herd mentality of Trump hate. I think it's the product of intellectual laziness and immaturity. What do you think it is?

Strange...to this day there is zero evidence of this.

It's ok...you can admit you hate Trump because he has a (R) next to his name too.
