RE: Why Do Americans Hate Donald Trump?

in #politics6 years ago

I see you haven't any replies on this subject. I'll offer you my opinion.

What are the signs that a leader is fully engaged in the interests of those who are led? Freedom, first of all, which is actually being threatened in America by people who call for other people to be censored. This isn't freedom, it's slavery. So definitely, censorship isn't the sign of a good leader.

As far as I'm aware, Trump isn't trying to censor anyone, but radicals opposed to him are. People are actually being attacked for wearing hats that say Make America Great Again, because it reveals they are supporting Trump, which is just insane. This looks a lot like the Nazi brownshirts' actions before Hitler became chancellor of Germany.

The economy, at least by the numbers, is doing well; the unemployment rate is at its lowest point in 50 years. These are things that always, in past times, were regarded as the main indicators suggesting the president was doing a good job. That seems to have suddenly now changed, and is meaningless, unless they claim it's all because of the past president, and not the current one. Those making this claim actually overlook a comment from the former president, who said that Trump would need a magic wand to get the economy to where Trump said he'd get it, and has gotten it.

The question you ask will likely bring replies that will be simply opinions of one side or the other. It's best to look at the numbers and other indicators of how the country is really prospering or not prospering, economically, to determine the most honest answer.

A sign of a poor leader inevitably rests on the economy he/she leads being a mess. If it stays upbeat, things are good. If the economy is good, but some complain, it's assured the complainers represent a tiny minority of the population in general.
