A Question of Hate

Why do they hate him? That was the question asked of me recently.  I know only enough about the workings of the government to get my butt kicked in a good debate. I never watched his show, don't follow pro wrestling, and don't even go to strip clubs. I'm no expert on the man. I do know all of the chambers of the government so I can best one of the freshmen, freshwoman just doesn't sound right, in that debate.
Let's take a fish-eyed view of the situation. We will use logic. This way my lack of knowledge doesn't trip anyone up in the details.
Why do they hate him? The scandals! Yeah, that's it, sure. The scandals. No, I don't think so. Presidents have done far worse IN office than he has done before he even considered seriously running. I won't rehash the "consenting adults" arguement. Nor will I get into where I believe any collusion may have come from. Stormy times for the man in charge. He tweets what he is thinking. Transparency. Friends with Israel. Grab 'em by the... Immigrant wife. Bankruptcy. Tax returns. Mueller...Mueller...Mueller.
This is why they hate him.
But why do THEY hate him? This is the question I was asked. THEM, THEY. I'm slow witted and it took me a minute to catch up to the conversation. Next I tried to explain that the voters on the left hated him because they were told how bad he was by the leaders of their party. Does that help? No.
WHY DO THEY HATE HIM? This is actually, when you think about it, the easy part. Let's look at the past for a second. What platforms have the past few presidents ran on? Jobs. Social security. Border control. Free trade. The Supreme Court. War. Health care. Budget. Economy. Taxes. Wages. Etc. Etc. Etc.
Obama took health care off the table, sort of. We know it's bad, well some of us do, and the business world has learned the loopholes around it and are not completely against it. So we will list that as done. Social security. It popped up briefly in the midterms but most of the country knows that the government blew the money and unless we get the spending under control there may not be any security.  We can slide that off the table, with hesitation.
Before I go any further, you must understand that the rest are the very reason the last 5 presidents, maybe the last 10 (not great with government) were elected. Along comes a business man that says hey! You passed a law 20 years ago for a wall and everyone talks about it, so let's build a wall. Period. Give it to me. Free trade cost us money and jobs. We don't need cheap crap from other countries if we pay people more, they can buy our goods and we do this by bringing back manufacturing. Capital of Israel is Jerusalem. Done. Move it.
Here's the hard part. If these issues are gone during the next election cycle because, like them or not, they are off the table, what issues will THEY use to fuel their campaigns with?
They haven't thought that far ahead...and this is why they hate him.
