I've noticed something. People who hate Trump are all hung up on superficial things like his character -- They'll say he tweets too much, her uses locker room talk, he's racist, xenophobic, misogynist, he's an idiot, bla bla bla. Or they voted for Hillary simply because she has 2 X chromosomes. Did anyone actually vote for Hillary or against Trump because of ISSUES like immigration including whether to take all these Syrian refugees, trade issues, jobs, selection of a supreme court justice, etc?

During the election his character is what stood out most. I didn't want someone with his temperament in office threatening diplomacy around the world.

That said, he didn't have any 'issues' that he stood for with a plan. It was all babble. If he was pressed on the subject of his plan, all he said was 'it's going to be great, it's going to be tremendous, you'll see and thank me for it'. I couldn't take anything he said seriously.

What he said he stood for I did not (and do not) agree with. The wall, targeted immigration restraints around religion, defunding planned parenthood, clueless on foreign policy and the environment.

I am sure others will chime in.

I would say the fact that you're seeing record donations at causes like Planned Parenthood is an indication.

Same with refugee causes and also with the ACLU, as many of us are worried about losing
our first amendment rights with this administration.

They're acting like little children do when they're told they can't get the candy they wanted.....no different.

You mean issues like a truly botched EO that couldn't survive a simple court challenge? Like rolling it out without any plan for implementing it, on a Friday night, and then having the whole world see the administration flail around a whole, loooong weekend as a result?

A man's character is superficial?

They hate him on the issues.

But, because they can't defend their desire to let terrorists into the country, let criminal illegal aliens roam free to commit crime after crime, let illegals take jobs away from Americans and depress American wages while overcrowding our schools and emergency rooms, continue globalization policies that send American jobs overseas, defend people who riot and assault police officers, etc., it's just easier for them to take Trump on as a personality.

Flynn, Pence, Conway, DeVoss, and Trump are all LIARS. These people have no problem lying to the Public. Look at this mockery Conway made of the White House when she forgot where she was and did a commercial for Ivankas clothing line. What other President has hired such idiots? Seriously.

Is the Pope Catholic? Of course they do. That's why they are ani-Trump because the only issue Trump cares about is Trump.

Repealing healthcare. Replacing it with vouchers or health savings accounts for Medicare? With no healthcare, workers can't advance to better jobs because they would lose their healthcare. Small businesses can hardly afford healthcare.We need universal healthcare and no one in Trump's administration can figure out how to do it.
