Maybe because they have no sense of history and don't understand what people normally expect from a president in terms of intelligence and civilized behavior.
To be Gen-X about it, cool in a Beavis and Butthead / Johnny Bravo kind of way, perhaps. And that's the most forgiving description I care to give.
He just comes off as crude, rude, bigoted, and means-spirited to me. And this from a white male Gen-Xer.
You don't have to be any particular ethnicity or race, or generation to understand how Trump comes off. You have empathy. You understand that he comes off as bigoted, crude, and brutish.
I wouldn't use Beavis and Butthead to describe Trump. I would describe Trump more as an Archie Bunker type person.
No I don't, and I don't want to. I have better things to do than have anything to do with Trump rallies. By the way, I am talking about what I see around me. Pretty much every Black person I've met doesn't support Trump. How many Blacks are you around on a daily basis?
Identity politics by race was going on long before "multiculturalism". It was a thing when America was 90% White and Blacks dealing with having their own rights violated. Look at how the South voted before the Civil Rights Act was passed. Look at what happened in 1968 when George Wallace, an ardent segregationist, ran for President. He lost the election, but he won the Deep South (and no, Blacks did not vote for that fool). Look at the South today. Blacks vote Democrat everywhere, but look at the South. Blacks vote Democrat to the tune of 90%+ percent. Whites vote majority Republican. I bring up the South because there are more Blacks in the South than anywhere else in America. Once you get outsided of the cities, RACE, not immigrants, plays a huge role in who votes for whom. The predominantly Black rural counties of the South vote Democrat along with Blacks in urban areas. Whites living outside of the large cities of the South mainly vote Republican, with some exceptions.
Welcome to America, where tribalism has been the rule rather than the exception.

I don't see Jews going around EVERY DAY whining and crying about what Hitler did.
I read that Hitler killed MORE Christians then Jews. I don't see any of them whining EVERY DAY about it.
Do the Irish complain and whine every day for the way they weer treated when they came to America?
Yes, all you said happened a LONG TIME AGO. The Equal Rights Act was ALSO been passed decades ago. So was Affirmative Action, desegregating schools. etc. etc.etc.
Are you a slave being held hostage at some plantation? Can you live wherever you want? Are you allowed to go to PUBLIC schools, to vote, etc.etc.etc.?
"Whites living outside of the large cities of the South mainly vote Republican, with some exceptions."
So what? Most blacks vote democrat. Are they ALL RACISTS?

It must really be a bad life to live and think the way you do. Sad, so very sad.
I'm from Mississippi. All my relatives are still rooted in Mississippi and Alabama. I keep in touch with many. And they are all republicans. Some voted for Trump, some stayed home. The ones who did vote for Trump said they wouldn't vote for him in the next election. Both states are poor so why keep electing a republican who doesn't do anything for you. And that includes senators and congressmen as well. These states vote against they own best interest. Let me ask you, why exactly is your daughter a Trump fan?
And Vermont and New Hampshire are mostly white and vote dem or independent.

"Maybe", if, could, should, etc, is all we have heard for over 3 years.
