You are entitled to your opinion. But do not put words in my mouth that were never there. Just because my views of the man do not reflect yours, does not mean I hate someone. Do I say you hate Obama? No. You have different views. Your views reflect those of most right wing people here in the United States. You use Marxism as a bad word. That is a typical right wing view. Do I say you have an animosity towards left wing views? No Lucca. I am attempting to engage in a constructive discussion with you for both of us to gain from. Actually some of the Marxist ideas are similar to the teachings of Jesus when it relates to sharing. A philosophy that Donald Trump has no understanding of because he is such a selfish man. Instead of helping the poor and middle classes he gave some of the largest tax breaks in history to the most wealthy people in the United States.
Please read this article to see how the egotistical and selfish motives have hurt the middle and lower classes and benefited the highest 1% of the wealthiest individuals in the United States. Not only that, but these huge tax breaks that both Bush and Trump were and are a part of have severely limited and exhausted funds used for all funding to help the middle and lower class families in the United States, added to the fact that these tax breaks have also exhausted government funds to protect the environment, build infrastructure and support social services…. Trump is nothing less than a total disaster to our country’s services. He is a hero of the richest individuals in this country and nothing less than a detriment to all other classes economically. Team Trump Wants the Poor to Suffer to Fund His Tax Cuts for the Rich.

Marxism, a body of doctrine developed by Karl Marx and, to a lesser extent, by Friedrich Engels in the mid-19th century. It originally consisted of three related ideas: a philosophical anthropology, a theory of history, and an economic and political program. There is also Marxism as it has been understood and practiced by the various socialist movements, particularly before 1914.

Steve, I do understand your animosity and that you would much rather like to have a president with an impeccable story of good behaviour and rectitude. That was Obama, a quintessential figure of a president. But do we like better an image, an icon, or we rather prefer substance?
Obama at the end of his mandates did not exhibit, with a few exceptions, overwhelming excellence as to ruling the USA. His global politics was catastrophic. He allowed the neo Marxists to spread out, with the subsequent virus of wokism, critical race theory, transactional theory and absurdities. He did not rein in these pernicious underlying currents.
In a few words, he kinda of failed as a president, in my view.
At the other spectrum, Trump is a convicted felon, he acts crazy at times, he says crazy things at times, really not a perfect figure of a president, but during his mandate there were no wars initiated, he started the Abrahama accords, he tried to uplift economy and so many more things which I do not know.
So, if there is a previous record of good outcomes, or just non-disastrous outcomes, why people do criticize him so harshly, demonizing him and comparing him to Hitler? I find no other logical solution than political enmity.
I have no knowledge that he raped any women. Unless it's a derogatory term to describe what other presidents like Bill CLinton, John Fitgerald Kennedy and many others did.
Again, Steve, I insist that there is some karmic issue between you and this figure, as detestable as he may be, the substance is not that of an antichrist at all. You may say: I don't want such a boor as a president, I understand it. But that's an ad-personam judgment, not an objective judgment on his policy.
I also understand that you have issues with some of his policies, like non-intervention on climate, like fossil fuels exploitation, demographic growth and so on. But these should be addressed separately from personal judgments.
You may say again, "I do not want a convicted felon as the POTUS." I may retort, "He was convicted according to judicial rules, and then he outsmarted the enemy judges by applying more rules issued by friendly judges. We need such a cunning person as the head of the first global superpower. We need him to tackle the real demons outside: Putin, Kim Jung, and Xi Jinping."
