Have you ever actually hated a sitting US President before?
Nixon was my C-in-C, and while I thought the sonofabitch was exactly that, I didn't actually hate him.
Reagan was, at least in my opinion, an amiable dunce, who was almost completely senescent by the end of his second term. (He'll rot in Hell for ignoring the AIDS crisis, but I was unaware of it at the time.)
George HW Bush was a patrician douche, who committed crimes in service to who knows what. Probably some misguided energetic Commie-hunting bullshit instinct left over from the 60's.
W was a dope who was engaged in a dick-measuring contest with his daddy, and God knows how many innocent civilians and US service men and women paid the price.

But I never actually hated ANY sitting President.

Until now.

I want horrible things to happen to the orange shitgibbon who has usurped the people's house, and is now actively engaged in destroying everything that this country used to stand for.
If his diet should catch up with him, and he tumbles in a heap down the steps of Air Force One ... well ... shit happens. And just in case, have another double cheeseburger, Lard-Ass.

But failing that, I want him shamed, driven from office in disgrace, and never able to show his face in public again without being vociferously scorned.

For the first time in my life, I hate ... not dislike ... not have policy disagreements with ... but ****ing DESPISE the President of the United States.

 :whatever: just another day with the people who tolerate anyone...

1. I came close with Bush*, (even closer with VP Cheney), but no, I don't think I've hated a President

I'm afraid to even admit to myself how I truly feel about Trump.

3. Yeah. I hated GWB.

I haven't forgotten what a dolt he was, how ham-fisted and tongue-tied; how provincial and blockheaded. How eager he was to allow truly evil people like Dick Cheney to have free rein over this country. How he willingly allowed 9/11/2001 to be used as a political excuse for visiting all sorts of horrors upon innocent people.

I'll never forgive him for that.

I hated his guts. I still do. I don't care how chummy he and Michelle Obama get; it just proves what a class act she is.

My loathing for Trump does not diminish my hatred for the previous to the manner-born, silver spoon asshole Republican...

6. Yes, Reagan and Bush*

In some ways, my reaction to Reagan was similar to my reaction to Trump. Reagan creeped me out. His smarmy voice actually made the hair on my arms stand up. I had to leave the room if his voice was on, and his heavily made-up face didn't help when it came to looking at him.

With Bush*, I more hated him for what he did, though he has the kind of personality I try to avoid IRL, too folksy and insincere.

True, Trump kind of takes it to a new level, but the answer is yes, I've hated other presidents. OTOH, I didn't feel that their voters necessarily hated me the way I felt in November 2016 that Trump voters did. I was shocked. My first reaction was, how could anyone hate me (and people who believe what I do) so much that they'd rather vote for this guy than have this country succeed?

9. Yes, all of them.

I HATED Reagun, Bush, Bush 2, and now this ****er. I felt sorry for Nixon when he cried when he resigned, I was only 12. My parents told me I's feel sorry for Hitler. My whole family (4 generations) are Dems and we HATE the GOP.

17. I couldn't abide either Nixon or Reagan, and I disdained Bush II as a sorry dimwit,

but I have to say Trump tops them all by orders of magnitude. I hate him with the fire of a thousand suns and hope I live long enough to do the samba on his grave, even though I consider grave-dancing to be extremely tacky in most cases (I'll also do a little two-step on Cheney if that's possible). Maybe that intensity of loathing is bad for one's karma, not to mention blood pressure, and I realize that we should have compassion for all sentient beings, but he's a real doozy when it comes to the possibility of finding any redeeming value in either his blighted soul or his blubbery orange carcass, other than fertilizer.

18. Yeah, Murder Monkey (Shrub) and Darth Cheney

I couldn't believe he was elected when it happened. But of course the Pukes cheated. Then Darth Cheney and the Bolton **** encouraged him to kill thousands of innocent people in a phony war after 9/11, an event that was perpetrated by the Saudis that the Bush Crime Family was in bed with.

But this is even worse. The bloated orange **** is being given carte blanche to do whatever he wants to American citizens. He owes the Russians big time and is drunk with power and hate. God knows what his cowering party of shitbags will let him do. Pootie ****ing approves.

31. I loathed Nixon, Reagan, and GWB with every fiber of my being.

I mean I HATED them. I still do. Trump doesn't make them seem any less loathsome. I considered and still consider them all venal, vile, hypocritical, criminal monsters.

But I don't even know how to characterize how much I loathe Trump.

Quote
Star Member GoCubsGo (21,370 posts)

36. Yes. Reagan and both Bushes.

I was only a tween when Nixon was President. I knew he was an awful person, but I was still too young to understand exactly why at that point. I probably would have hated him, as well, if I were old enough to know better. I hate GWB, because his administration is directly responsible for destroying my career, and pretty much ruining my life. I hope that ****er, and everyone associated with him rots in Hell. Which is where his shitbag parents undoubtedly reside, currently, along with Brain-dead Ronnie. **** them all. Trump makes the lot of them look less contemptible, but they are all still vile excuses for human beings.

57. I despised Reagan, and Bush largely because of Cheney

Reagan was the most dangerous type of Republican because he could pretend he actually cared about everyday Americans, and they were stupid enough to believe it. At that point I thought we might have a string of Republicans out of the same mold, and gobbling up 55% of the presidential vote.

Trump actually had the same potential but he was too stupid and evil to realize it, or care. He's got the same type of celebrity teflon as Reagan.

My hatred of Bush obviously increased based on how he got into office, and then everything to do with Iraq and every word/facial expression from Dick Cheney.

Prior to Trump I hated Cheney more than any politician of my lifetime.

Record numbers of whites and non-whites employed, record numbers off of food stamps, stock market on the rise, businesses expanding and Co2 levels going down. This is what success is, what we voted for.

Your idea of success is more people dependent on government handouts.

Yeahhhhh ... why do I suspect GWB spent more time in more states and countries, prior to running for President, than has Star Member Aristus? Or Hillary before Bill and Obama took/sent her around the country and world. Or JEC before he ran for President.

Star Member Aristus is just POed that an R Governor of Texas beat Enviro-Guru AlGore. And then clubbed Kerry like ... taking down Dan Blather in the process.

 Truthfully, I didn't hate Clinton, because as misdirected as his policies were, I don't really think he hated America.  Obama I really feel resented America and wanted to bring us down to the status of his birthplace.   If Obama loved America as much as he loves himself we might be in a good place right now.

Of the last two sets of D Presidents and First Ladies, I think Bill was the only one who did/does not hate the US. I think we are fortunate that BHO was almost as indolent as was Bill.

They also loved McCain when he ran in 2000 because he was opposing the Bush family.  Didn't really know much about him until '99, other than being part of the S&L scandal.

I can honestly say that I have never hated any President in my lifetime.  Obama was (and still is) a contemptible shitstain, but I don't hate him.  If anything, I pity him at this point, because it's become painfully obvious, even to Democrats, that he's just a complete waste of time: he's doom to anyone running for office if he endorses and/or campaigns for them, he's not nearly the walking, talking ATM machine that W was (and still is, I suppose) for the GOP, his wife is utterly detestable, bitter, angry, and exactly the sort of person that you would avoid like crazy at a dinner party.  But hate?  No.  I reserve actual hatred for people like Osama bin Laden and people like that skidmark who shot up the school in Colorado.

That having been said, I don't like Trump.  There are lots of Presidents and others in high office with whom I would gladly sit down and have a beer, to include, believe it or not, Barack Obama.  I bet that Bill Clinton is a hell of a guy outside of public life.  I would even have a beer with Bernie Sanders. 

Trump is an asshole, plain and simple.  He's thin-skinned and goes nuclear on the slightest of slights. I'm reasonably certain that I will never in my lifetime forgive him for what he did to Raphael Cruz or to Heidi Cruz, both of whom I got to know on the campaign train and both of whom were deeply hurt by Trump's outright lies about them. They are truly good people who did not deserve that, at all.

Trump is not someone I would really want to hang around in my spare time.  But he's doing a hell of a job for what he was elected to do, and that satisfies me just fine.

I'm sure President Trump doesn't like you either.   :tongue:
