Why many people don't like Trump

I read in amazement posts from people who criticize others for their apparent ill feelings toward Donald Trump as if somehow such thoughts and feelings are by themselves just plain wrong and wonder if:

1. They know why so many in the country feel this way. Don't forget he lost the popular vote by 2-3 million.

2. They realize that their own disdain toward Trump's critics is any way different from those who criticize him. You can't have it both ways. It's still a free country. We are free to dislike him.

3. They see how in real time the market rises or dips when Trump is not only speaking but sounding either positive and strong or wishy washy and weak. He needs to put his best foot forward, but on March 22, his speech was interspersed by him patting himself on the back for 5 minutes about how he has improved the VA system and that VA polls are the most positive in history. Mr. President, this speech was supposed to be about COVID-19 and not VA matters. Later during that same session he expressed sarcasm about his rival Mitt Romney being in self quarantine. He said with a smirk, "Gee that's too bad." Really? To Trump supporters, what would do if your children behaved this way? His goal is to positively address the nation and not self congratulate and snipe at his rival like a school kid. Imagine FDR being so indignant during his fireside chats in WW II when the U.S. needed a calming and reassuring voice.

4. After all this, you still can't see why he is criticized? Don't be so blind, especially to how a real leader acts and does.

Look at Andrew Cuomo and JB Pritzker as examples.
