I barely even followed US politics before Trump.
No need to tell us. Anybody can see that a mile away.
He is someone that people just love to hate- with more people hating him- at least outside of America.
To add to Plum’s remark regarding this... It is a perception created by the MSM and certain politicians in the media. I am pretty sure that if you go down to the feet on the ground you may well find I totally different story altogether. It is easy to mobilise a mob of screaming fanatics with a blimp in London and then portray them as the average British sentiment towards Trump.
It is much more than just left or right ideology. The same people that hate Trump did not have the same issues with say George Bush junior. (Or other Republican presidents).
Neither of Bush 41 nor Bush 43 challenged the establishment prior to their inaugurations and during their campaigns, not thereafter. Neither of them challenged the Industrial Military Complex or the big pharma or the liberal media complex. They were too placid to do that. Why? Because they were in the bag as well. Do you really think that Bush43 decided all in his own to invade Iraq? Not a chance. It was the industrial military complex egging him on, led by the then director of the FBI. Guess who that was? One Robert Swan Mueller III. Yes, that one. Comey’s buddy.
At this point, I want to throw in something that may seem surprising. During his campaign, and thereafter, Trump warned the big pharma that he was going to have their balls for breakfast because of the way they exploit the public, yet when push came to shove, he had the skills to get them all around the table to help find a way to fight the coronavirus.
Your ignorance of USA politics prior to Trump is showing.
When I really started to despise Trump was when he invaded Iran, and started his Twitter rants and threats.
No, he didn’t invade Iran.
He could start world war three with his behaviour.
You have obviously missed/forgotten the previous times when he had the world “on the brink of WWIII”, with his tweets about Little Rocket Man
With the hit on Qaseim Soleimani he took a calculated risk, but not without making sure that he had the odds stacked very heavily in his favour. This is something that Obama could never do because the clown has depleted the USA military to such an extent that they were no longer a threat. This time around the USA military will crush a country like Iran in no time in battle. Iran’s only allies are Syria and what is left of Isis. None of the Arab states would side with them. By the way, what did you think about the hit on Osama Bin Ladin, at the time. Would be interesting to know.
He just does not seem like a person that should be running a country.
I suppose you would prefer someone like Hillary Clinton or Joe Biden. Bernie Sanders perhaps? How about Jeremy Corbyn for the UK?
Far too emotional, egotistical and unhinged.
Opinion. Irrelevant.
