Why They Hate Trump
American Thinker.com ^ | December 11, 2020 | Jeffrey Folks

Simply put, they hate Trump because he represents ordinary Americans — those who are not part of the political and corporate elite, who lack the advantages and connections of the Deep State, who are not media, academics, or celebs. President Trump puts ordinary Americans first, and it drives the elite nuts.

The elite have spent so many years enjoying their advantages, including the psychological advantage of despising ordinary people, that they panicked when someone tried to take it all away from them. They can't go on living without that warm, reassuring sense of superiority.

Contempt for average Americans was palpable in Hillary Clinton, which is why she lost the election of 2016. It was just too obvious. Joe Biden conceals it somewhat better, or perhaps he just cares more for other advantages of office — for both himself and family members. Either way, he is taking advantage of ordinary people.

What really upset the elite was that average Americans were beginning to believe in themselves. Their wages were rising for the first time in decades, and they felt proud to be restoring America to what it could be. If Biden wins, that will be lost. The everyday American can crawl back to his cell and watch the country stagnate for another four or eight years.

What if the deplorables — the guy who delivers the bread to your supermarket, the woman caring for three children at home, the insurance salesman, the Target checkout clerk — were actually smarter than the Washington types, smarter than you in the universities and the media? For the elite, it would mean that the world had been turned upside-down.

It depends on who "they" are.

The elites may hate Trump because he is a threat to their easy-cheatin' life, but they average man in the street hates Trump because he is indoctrinated to do so by the media, academia, and social-Leftist echo chamber.

Thanks for posting that. It summarizes the state of our Country very clearly. Yes, the guy who delivers the bread is smarter than all the think tank elites.

“They” hate Trump, the ones spewing the hate in the “Press” and the Communists in the Democrat Party, because he is the most honest, God fearing and American President this nation has seen in more than half a century.

They have no arguments, so they spew hate. I think they knew who he was long before he ran. Oprah joked with him about entering politics when they thought they could seduce him to the Dark Side.

The people, as you point out, get what they think from the TV.

Most of all they hate him because they know he is trying to expose, and get rid of, the corruption in the government. Many, many Federal employees are living like kings and queens doing very little work and they do NOT want that to go away. It has nothing to do with his personality, what he says, or how he says it. Those are all criticisms to cover up the REAL reason (stated above) that they hate him (and us).

They hate him because he couldn’t be bought. That his “America First” economic policies derailed their China gravy train. They hate him because his “ America First” foreign policies tries to put a stop to the military industrial complexes endless wars and America’s ambassadors sweet host country perks.

Even more simply put, they hate us. I have a feeling that sentiment is beginning to be reciprocated.

I keep thinking about Kipling's "Wrath of the Awakened Saxon".

"The one thing progressives will not surrender is their sense of superiority to the American people, and their tactics are becoming more aggressive, shifting from disparagement to criminalization. Should Biden take office, expect the censorship and persecution of conservatives to continue and increase. The only way to stop them is to speak the truth and hope the public will vote them out of office."

By no means is that the only way to stop them, and, in fact, if the Marxist Biden Administration legalizes tens of millions of illegals and opens the borders to an endless tide of new dependent Democrats, voting them out will be impossible.

I think it’s pretty simple why the Left hates Trump (and us): they’re full of evil and demons, and Trump shines a bright light. Darkness cannot exist where there’s light. The Left has no absolutes, so they live their life on shifting sands. That’s why they’re always so agitated and angry; they don’t know true peace.

We have little use for the “expert class” and their ideas on what is best for us.
Mediocrity or Greatness Choose

They hate him because he’s an outsider and that’s what xenophobes do, they hate outsiders.

They hate him because he exposes the false foundations of their own belief systems.

They hate him because he’s not a Communist globalist stooge like Obama and George W.

They hate him because we love him.

Trump was always feared as an outsider, very early on, but that sheet didn’t get real until the “lock her up” chants. The political elite always protect their own, even corrupt members of the opposite party. Oh sure, there’s lots of drama when someone’s wrong-doings get exposed, but in the the smokey backrooms and among all the winks and nudges, the most that happens is someone has to step down and maybe even exist public life and very comfortably live happily ever after. No one is ever supposed to be genuinely threatened with real consequences for making money off foreign policy.

The left hates Trump because he stands in the way of their transformation of America into a European socialist state.

The Democrats are the most dangerous American enemy

They must be eliminated

“..Joe Biden conceals it somewhat better,..”

No, he doesn’t. Biden is everything they accuse Trump of and then some.

Biden calls his constituents names, belittles them when they counter him, threatens to get physical with them and tells them “he doesn’t work for!” them.

Talk about an air of superiority! Plugs simply has the best media protection ever in the history of mankind.
