In my case it's not even peronal. I loathe what he represents. That's not tied to his person. There are many more like him. And many closer to home.
I feel contempt for the people falling for figures like that. Especially the ones being fed up with the political establishment and having very real concerns over their futures and the future of their kids. I'm one of them, but for some reason the last thing I would do is cast a vote for one of these obvious snake oil vendors. I'd like to understand what makes them tick. Why they don't see through the charade.
Maybe they do see through it, but like we have both said in the past, when protesting people use the tool that will have the most impact. Donald Trump is that tool.
