Trump Thrives On Hate

Trump is an individual who is overly absorbed in self adoration. His wealth and celebrity status has allowed him to live a luxurious lifestyle where he can go where he wants, eat what he wants, have access to beautiful women, and weld influence over others. These are things that common people don't generally have, and as a result of this, Trump has been deceived into thinking that he is indeed worthy of the adoration of others.

Because of this self deception, anyone who supports the image in his mind of himself as being worthy of adoration becomes the object of his affection. Hence this incident with Kanye West



However, for people who don't see him as worthy of adoration, Trump expresses contempt and encourages his followers to view these people as the objects of hate. This can be seen in the this recent rally where he stoked anger at Ilhan Omar



Now someone may say that it is not unusual for a persons to be attracted to those who like them and be repulsed by those who do not like them. While that might be true, a person who occupies a position of significant power has to be aware that this tendency has to be kept in check such that it does not cause unnecessary harm to others and to the institution that he may represent.

Trump has let this tendency go to an extreme in expressing his repulsion at Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib

We should note here that Trump has gone to the extreme of putting forward the lie that these two members of congress hate all Jewish people. This in itself is very problematic and shows that Trump has the emotional maturity of a child. Next of all he has gone to the extreme of publicly enlisting the help of the head of a foreign government to publicly destroy the reputation of his political opponents. This type of behavior is unacceptable because it sets a very very bad precedence for the office of president. Why? Imagine what would happen if presidents start to use this power in an unrestrictive fashion. Foreign leaders, to curry favor from the president, will restrict the right to travel of the president's opponents to their respective countries. This will become an effective means of silencing dissenting views and thus erode what little we have left of a democracy in this country.

Again, an example of how Trump does not think. He merely thrives on hate.

 

True.

People who are consumed by hate tend to act irrationally and make self-destructive mistakes.

Trump fans the flames of the left's hatred specifically to drive them to furious self destruction. As we're seeing, it's an incredibly effective strategy.

 

Laughable at best. Here we have another thread by a Democratic doing every thing it possibly can to engender as much divisiveness and hatred as possible. Mr.Pot meet Mr. Kettle.

 

Where you are off here is that you appear to want us to believe that this is the result of some well thought out strategic plan on the part of Trump. As exemplified in his recent behavior in the trade war with China, Trump is simply not capable of engaging in strategic thought on the level that you put forward. To the extent that it is true, it is no more than an unintended consequence rather than a preconceived result.

 

Here we have an example of self deception at best. Just because what I posted causes you to hate, doesn't mean that I meant for you or anyone else to react in that way. Don't project your hate onto me.

 

Picking on you isn't hate. Trump represents what most people feel about the culture today. The PC nonsense that past Republicans shied away from Trump boldly gives the middle finger to. He doesn't seem particularly worried about his image among the left in fact he blasted the media with both barrels right out of the gate and they've been scrambling to figure out what to do ever since.

It isn't hatred of you. It's disagreement with your politics. If all you are is your politics be more.

 

Au contraire mon amie I bare no hatred in my heart unlike the authors of that rather nasty screed. I merely point out the truth, that the Democratic party has been pushing hatred and division since The founding. The only thing that ever changes is the target of that hate.

 

Picking on me? Sorry barking up the wrong tree.

Another statement that you have put forward without proof. But oh, I forgot, you can't prove a negative. Pure garbage.

Trump boldly gives the middle finger to himself. He just screwed himself with his so called "easy to win" trade war with China.

He isn't worried about his image because he is too ignorant to understand the consequences of his actions, just like an immature child.

Be more and give more thoughtful responses.

 

No you don't point out the truth. You said this is a thread by a 'Democratic', i.e. a Democrat. That is two posts now in this thread in which you have not engaged in the truth.

 

I've seen on this site plenty of hate coming from the anti Trump crowd. No doubt Trump is a very polarization individual. It seems most folks either love him or hate him. Very few are in the neither love or hate column. Perhaps as the polls puts it, like a lot or dislike a lot. 10% like him a lot, 37% dislike a lot. Now there are 13% of neither dislike nor like and 17% not sure. Question 66.

I don't know if one equates like a lot and or dislike a lot with hate. But what I wanted to show are the few that are in-between. There is no doubt, at least in my mind that Trump is a thin skin, egotistical, opportunist who happened to become president. I think this says as much about Hillary Clinton as about Trump, perhaps as much as our nation as a whole.

Personally, I never voted for the guy, I don't like him. Not so much because of his policies and what he has done or tried to do, but for his obnoxious, uncouth, very unpresidential personality. I have seen more hate thrown at Trump than hate coming from Trump. I suppose one's partisanship, one's politics, one's party affiliation along with the ultra high polarization that has taken over our politics determine how one views hate. Either coming from or going to Trump.

 

Well I don't disagree that there has been plenty of hate thrown at Trump. That is simply a fact. However I don't think you can prove that more has been thrown at him, than he has given out.

 

That's not the strategy Trump uses with China. China doesn't legit hate Trump. He's just one more world leader they have to negotiate with in a non-barking-moonbat manner such as the American leftists approach Trump with.

Fueling hate is the strategy Trump employs against American Democrats/leftists, and it's incredibly effective. It'd be foolish to deny the obviousness of this.

 

what i see in the op and his every follow-up post is a whole lot of projection. it's common enough among the ignorant and is currently running rampant among the democratic ranks. a quick perusal of the numerous anti-trump threads shows us childish taunts calling out supposed childish behaviors, an unhealthy obsession for describing supposed obsessions, racist rants decrying supposed racism and and ignorant screeds detailing imaginary ignorance. what they all have in common is an irrational hatred of anything that alters their imaginary status quo.

 

No you are confused. The point is that from Trump's behavior with respect to his trade war with China we can see that he is not capable of the type of strategic thought that you put forward. He didn't properly think out his moves with China and had to backtrack. And while it was good that he stepped back, what we can see from that is that he does not think ahead very well.

 

What is see is what you want to see. You are seeing yourself in the mirror.

 

"I'M FURIOUS AT TRUMP! Therefore Trump thrives on hate."

It takes two to tango.

 

Yeah, but there was no hate involved.

 

Talib and Omar trip was paid for by Miftah, a group known to support terrorists the like of which has killed innocent people, including children. Are you going to condemn Talib and Omar for supporting Miftah who is even more divisive than Trump? Or is this just a one way street that you're on?

 

Non argument

 

Never heard of Miftah. Post a link that gives some evidence for what you allege they do and then show how these people are supporting those activities and I will comment.

 

Like I said, you are confused. If that's al you have to put forward, then case closed.

 

The OP is truthful as any we have lately.

Trump hates on rage and fear.

 

Dude, get real.... From day 1 of Trump's election victory it's been

RESIST, NOT MY PRESIDENT, HARASS ELECTORS, HARASS SUPPORTERS and FAMILY, SABOTAGE, SUE, IMPEACH, BOYCOTT, PROSECUTE, INVESTIGATE, RUSSIAN SPY, RACIST, FASCIST, NAZI, WHITE SUPREMASIST....

There is no comparison, the liberal hatred is in the league of its own, no one else in modern time comes even close.

 

You claimed Trump thrives on hate, and then you brought up his trade negotiations with China.

Please explain how any sort of "hate" was involved in those negotiations.

Or don't, see if I care.

 

What does that mean? Please explain.
