Because he's vulgar and incompetent. Because he's misogynistic, materialistic and short-sighted.
Because he is corrupt and actively encourages nepotism. Because, he's thin-skinned, vain and vindictive. Because, he promotes hatred of immigrants and Muslims and is dividing the US, dangerously, while picking fights with the rest of the world.
And, yet, he might just well be the wake up call we needed:
Wow, have you ever been programmed! But I guess it's relaxing to never have to think for yourself.
Hook, line, and sinker.
I’m sorry I had to unfollow you, especially as I admire Greece’s generosity in receiving refugees and their noble, ancient philosophy.
Can you imagine a truly independent thinker, like Diogenes, defending the likes of Trump?
Do you not see the irony that in a post like this you do not understand ‘why everyone is picking on DT?
Because He’s Blocking Our Light!
I have seen interviews with college students in America asking them what they thought of a list of proposals in Bernie Sander's economic package. They all replied that they thought it was "wonderful".
They were then told that they were actually proposals taken from Trump's economic package. LOL
My point is not that Trump is great, or even good. My point is that you have been programmed just like those students in the interview.
Thank you for unfollowing me. I do not enjoy conversing with bots or humans with programmed opinions.
Touche' onceuponatime!!
I’m not a college student, I’m an author of 7 books and, as an immigrant and Muslim living in the Divided States of America, an activist & concerned world citizen.
I urge you to read my personal essay, below, on our wounded world and tell me if you still think I’m programmed:

I read this:

by you.
For you to say this about someone you have never met, taking your opinions pre-formed from manipulative, agenda driven media (or other even more nefarious sources), tells me much more about you than him. In fact, it tells me nothing about him. It is pretty well a meaningless rant. But it does tell me that, since you call him "incompetent", which by any definition of the word I know he clearly is not, you and I do not share a common language and it would be a tragic waste of my time to read your writings.
Don't be rude, I would tell it to the teacher.
I am just a poor backwoods boy from Canada. I haven't even written one book, never mind 7!!! So I lack the sophisticated manners of a more civilized person, and just have to call something bullshit when I read it :-)
I actually read the whole conversation @onceuponatime. I admired how you handled the conversation effectively though there are differences in your opinions. You are definitely correct saying something mean to someone you havent met is just ridiculous. This world that we are living in is full of critics who just keeps on finding negative things to say about someone or somebody. Someone should be blamed for something is a stigma that should be stopped. They are completely brainwashed by media tactics. I always tell my students in class for a country to prosper its people should help the government and its officials in making the country great. If we want change. We will start with ourselves first.
Your students are lucky to have you!
@yahialabadidi
Your rant is unoriginal, required no thought, and could have been copied and pasted from a thousand different articles in a hundred different languages. For such a spiritual person you sure carry a lot of hate brother. The spiritual man transcends, the petty man descends......into the cacophony of the zeitgeist.
