Why Do They Hate Him So?
American Greatness ^ | OCTOBER 20, 2019 | Victor Davis Hanson

Posted on 10/21/2019 11:47:39 AM PDT by Hojczyk

But more importantly, Trump’s lidless eyes never sleep. He is a 24/7 force of nature. No controversy is too trivial, too silly, too irrelevant to escape his Twitter commentary. Or rather Trump believes he is an existential war with the media, celebrities, elites of all sorts and the general status quo, or what we might call the American progressive project and its elite coastal architects.

Trump senses that the more he offends them, and the more so they pronounce him a dunce, a nut, a boor, a criminal, an ogre, then all the more they reveal what many had suspected about them but had no hard evidence to substantiate those suspicions. Trump believes his checkered social life is now transparent and serves as a sort of armor when he jousts with the sober and judicious whose pretense of civility is ripped away leaving them hypocritical when they foam, swear, and damn the current president.

Media bias? The hatred for Trump manifests itself in 90 percent negative coverage, according to reputable media watchdogs.

The bipartisan Washington establishment? If an outsider Manhattan wheeler-dealer without military or political experience can at last call an appeased China to account, can avoid a Libyan fiasco, can acknowledge that America is tired of a 18-year slog in Afghanistan when others would not, or believes ISIS thrived as a result of prior arcane restrictive U.S. rules of engagement—and he is proven largely right—

The Left detests Trump for a lot of reasons besides winning the 2016 election and aborting the progressive project. But mostly they hate his guts because he is trying and often succeeding to restore a conservative America at a time when his opponents thought that the mere idea was not just impossible but unhinged.

And that is absolutely unforgivable.

I didn’t hate Obama the way these losers hate Trump. At least I got that “elections have consequences”. It is unfortunate that an America-hating Muslim was twice elected, but them’s the breaks. I didn’t scream at the sky over it.

Seriously, she has one foot in the grave and you think Trump hasn’t already picked a replacement?

While all of what VDH says above is demonstrably true . . .

The left also hates that he has sufficient evidence on those that they adore to send them to prison. I pray every day that Trump manages to drain the swamp to the point that there is undeniable evidence to show that Washington is corrupt on both sides of the aisle. Then perhaps we the people can restore this country to what it once was.

And for those of you, that forgot or never knew.... VDH is a professor from California. So you see there are many people that are very conservative from that liberal bastion.

To name a few:
1. Jim Robinson
2. Devin Nunez
3. VDH

And many more that are fighting the good fight from the Left Coast.

One reason is that they almost fulfilled the New World Order prophecy of Bush I. Clinton II was to carry the torch. She promised everything to everybody here and abroad who was in the cult. The Swamp creatures of Deep State could taste it and it was all taken away......for now.

he is showing them up not unlike the rice krispies treat commercial where the lady threw flour on her own face to make it look like she slaved in the kitchen for hours to make them

Politics is easy once you dispatch the swamp/bureacracy. Real politics should be a part time temp job that you cannot get rich on and it should require a modicum of common sense.
It has morphed into the mafia.

Trump has created a disturbance in the fabric of normalcy in the swamp.
Does anyone think the politicians want to live off their salary, alone?
Really, I am surprised he is still alive.
God bless him and continue to keep him from harm.

This^^^

The right of politicians to make millions off of their “public service” is sacrosanct in the U.S. today. From Hunter Biden’s multi-million dollar no show jobs to the Clinton Foundation scam and their $250,000 a pop speaking fees to Elijah Cummings wife skimming money from a charity, to the Obama’s $67 million deal for their ghost written books nothing can be allowed to interfere with the swamp’s corruption and graft. That’s why Trump’s questioning of Biden’s scam can’t be allowed to go unchallenged, all the rest of them might have to start answering questions about how they got to be worth hundreds of millions from a $175K a year job.

There’s a way business is done in Washington D.C. if you’re part of the club, it reaches across all political lines and it’s understood that as a member of the club it’s a perk that’s not to be questioned. Just like if you’re the Chicago police commissioner and you’re found passed out drunk on the side of the road you don’t get arrested, nobody is allowed to threaten the perks of being part of the swamp.

Pure projection on their part since they are the ones that win elections that way.

Hanson hits another bullseye.

However, think the visceral hatred results from the truth that Trump reveals.

When Trump proclaimed: "I'm going to clean up Washington," they dug in their heels, determined to protect their turf. The closer he gets to doing it, the more visceral becomes their hatred. It's like throwing more and more gasoline on a fire. Hanson's right: it's Trump's successes that have driven them into madness.

NOTHING incites fury like truth threatening delusion.

..."he is showing them up "..

How could this uncouth tart solve all the problems we politicians created so we have jobs trying to fix all the things we screwed up ? Can't have that. And how about political consultants....damn embarrassing now that we know they're completely useless.

Add Rush's take today that Admiral/General/WTF? McCraven tipped another key reason with his extremely virulent call for something tantamount to a military coup: an attempt to dismantle the swamp/military industrial complex. Too much money made making war, and consulting how to win war.

They hate Trump for the same reason dirty cops hate and distrust clean ones.

He isn’t on board, and threatens to upend their comfy gravy train. He not only cannot be trusted, he has to be actively resisted.

Because they are un equal and will never measure up

They worship delusional measures to end inequality

Until, inevitably, the whole world burns.

The progs irrationally believe they will be capable of turning the ashes back into a controlled society with themselves as the wearers of the jackboots.

Trump has shown how corrosive their hatred really is. Look at the faces of his opposition. They are demonic, only capable of threats and intimidation, hoping to bully the world into submission with promises of eternal revenge, fit only to lead zombie hordes into perpetual dystopias.

Meanwhile, Donald projects a beaming countenance which apparently turns vitriol into the fountain of youth.

They hate him because he is unabashedly pro American - We are a nation, with an identity culture of which to be proud, and not simply an economy ripe for the world’s picking. It’s nothing more complicated than that.

Well said and absolutely true.

The Democrat Party is truly the Party of Hate, Violence, and Evil.
