Stan, On reflection, it really isn't Trump himself that bothers me so. He is merely a symptom of the times though he is a master at capitalizing on those symptoms. And, hatred really isn't the right word either. It comes down to anger and frustration at seeing the country torn apart. I blame Trump for much because he polarizes every issue and attacks all who question or disagree. His vision of a desirable future and the means he is willing to use to in order to achieve it are simply wrong. That many support and admire him is is profoundly discouraging. I appreciate your asking for clarification.
