As promised, I busted my ass and came up with a lot of reasons Trump voters are idiots; and as the title says, I should know, I am one. I discounted all the times his political opponents have accused him, impeached him, litigated him, etc., for the simple reason that fellow Trump voters will say that's just political persecution, making them love him all the more.
After reading my post, Trump haters can feel free to post your own respectful reason (just 1) that you're concerned with the second reign of Trump by filling in the blank, "I'm concerned with Trump in power because I feel he will ________________________________."
So, here are just SOME reasons people are right to hate on The Donald, and Trump supporters, feel free to NOT defend your views on this post. Your turn will come tomorrow, and believe me, you'll get your happy ending, because although the person who wrote this title might call me an idiot, I don't believe I am. After reading this post however, you might disagree. Here we go.
One - Unlike 99.9 % of us, Trump was a spoiled little trust fund kid that was given 14 million dollars by his father to set up his businesses. Would that we all had such luck. Daddy also backed several other of his early ventures, yet Donald claims he built his empire all on his own with just a “small loan” from his father. Here's the receipt that gives a different story than Trump's.
Two - Trump uses disturbing rhetoric such as “I love the blacks” which is how all racists speak. He’s been sued by the Justice Department in the 70’s for housing discrimination against blacks, sued by employees of his casinos for racism and was known for “having the floor cleared of blacks in his casinos when he and Ivanka would tour his properties”, he complained his black workers were born lazy, that blacks were on his accounting team, and stated, “the only people I want counting my money are guys that wear yarmulkes all day.” I could go on but here’s a list of 13 occasions he’s been seen as a racist. The list is from 2016. I’m sure there are more examples that have happened since then.

Three - Trump called Rosie O’Donnell a pig and a slob, is a self-confessed pussy grabber, twice divorced because of affairs, his current marriage is basically a business deal that shows all the love and passion of two mannequins standing beside one another, he's an associate of Jeffery Epstein, riding on his jets and calling him, “a terrific guy”. Stated that sexual assault in the military is simply what happens when men and women work together, and wrote that "women are inherently manipulative" in his book, "The Art of the Deal". Here’s a list of 22 times he’s said or acted in a sexist manner.
Four - Constantly praising himself for his high IQ, best ideas, smarter than his generals, low empathy for others, pompous braggart, intense jealousy of others' success, overconfident in his mental abilities, his plans, his talents, and his business acumen gives him all the earmarks of a classic narcissist. There are 9 traits of a narcissist that health professionals use to diagnose patients. 5 out of 9 makes you a narcissist. Trump hits all 9. There are probably a dozen articles written by health professionals stating as much. Do your homework and GOOGLE them. The constant branding and display of his last name is further evidence of his love affair with himself: Trump Tower, Trump Casino, Trump Plaza, Trump Vodka, Trump University, Trump Steaks, etc., etc., etc.
Five - Speaking of brands: The Trump brand has many more failures than wins: Trump Airlines - FAIL, Trump American Pale Ale - FAIL, Trump Steaks - FAIL, Trump Casinos - BANKRUPT, Trump Mortgage Co. - FAIL, Trump University, charging students as much as $35,000 for 3 and 4 day classes on real estate investing but actually taught by motivational speakers who knew little on the subject of real estate. Closed its doors without notice and without refunding money to students, who were mostly lower-middle class folks trying to improve their lives. Was sued by the state of New York over this and settled out of court for 25 million dollars, Trump Vodka, FAIL, Cologne, Menswear, Mattresses, Travel Agency, the list is exhaustive, all FAILS. For a guy who touts himself as a savvy businessman, his long history of failure argues differently.
Six - He's A Bully - we all remember him mocking the handicapped wheelchair guy, bullied Rosie O'Donnell for decades because she had the temerity to criticize him once on The View, on more than one occasion had his security manhandle and remove protestors, “get him outta here!” sided with mobs who beat and kicked other protestors at his events. demands complete loyalty much like a dictator, fires any who oppose him, threatens other countries, talks of “taking over” Canada, Greenland, the Panama Canal, Gaza. Although he's not Hitler (and I tire of the comparison to a man who murdered millions), this is how it all started.
Seven - Speaks coarsely and without grace, needlessly offending people when he could have simply kept his mouth shut or used different phrasing
Eight - Never says, “I made a mistake. I’m sorry.” Humility and self awareness are signs of a great leader. Trump has neither.
Nine - His businesses profited millions from his presidency. In an act of feigned honesty, he turned over his businesses to his sons upon being elected but refused to relinquish many businesses that presented conflicts of interest regarding his position as president,
Ten - One of my biggest grievances against Trump is his habit of not paying small business owners/contractors who worked on his buildings. His M.O. was to have the small businesses do the work and then make them file lawsuits to get the money he owed them. It was his repeated way of doing business. He knew these small businesses couldn’t afford the legal fees to get their money and would simply give up over the long haul. Despicable. Not a friend to small business.
Here’s an article on just one of his buildings from the contractor’s side of the story. https://www.cnn.com/2016/09/13/politics/trump-small-business-owners/index.html
Eleven - The way he hawks his overpriced Trump-Junk like a snake oil salesman is off-putting to say the least, a complete ripoff of his own supporters at worst: Trump Bible, Trump Watch, Trump Guitar, Trump Silver Coin, Trump Sneakers, Trump Christmas Ornament, Trump NFT, Trump Trading Cards, Trump Crypto Token... there’s probably more, I can’t keep up..
He’s being sued by Gibson (an American company) for stealing their design for his guitar (which is not a real, working guitar, but more of a $10,000 wall hanging), his Trump Crypto Coin was a rug pull, wherein only a few dozen initial investors made money on it while the pitiful average supporters who bought in a little too late all lost their shirts. And after Trump promised to bring jobs back from China, he went ahead and had his 60 dollar Bible printed there.
Twelve - Speaking of Bibles, Trump not only holds them upside down during photo ops in which he had protestors tear gassed so they’d get out of his way while he waved his upside down Bible on church steps in self righteous indignation, he used to act as if he were a Christian on the campaign trail (which he has since given up), stating his love for the Bible but when asked to quote his favorite verse from the holy book, could not do so, claiming, “there are just too many good ones to choose from.” Quick thinking, Donald!
He now has a White House Spiritual Counseling Committee which consists of (no surprise here) the absolute worst in televangelist hucksters, spiritual grifters, con artists, and leader, Paula White who mainline Christian leaders denounce as heretical and a fraud.
Thirteen - LGBTQ+ issues - I need a little help here. Trump recently wrote into law that the U.S. government recognizes only 2 genders. Trump is definitely anti-Trans in the military and in sports and is against “gender affirming care for minors” (me too on that one). He threatens to defund schools who push the Trans agenda. I’m not sure what legislation, if any, he has instituted against the other letters in the LGBTQ+ equation. I couldn't really find anything. It’s not like the homosexual community were being hung from lamp posts during the Trump administration, as some were worrying would happen. If you are aware of any legislation Trump enacted to take rights away from folks other than the Trans Community, lemme know.
Fourteen - He's a chronic liar and exaggerator - once claimed he was worth 10 billion - Forbes pegged his top net worth at 4.5 billion. Trump claimed it never rained on his inauguration. “It just never came until I was done speaking, then it poured.” An easily verifiable lie that everyone there or watching on TV knows as a false claim. Why say anything? Taking a sharpie and “correcting” the path of a hurricane which never hit Alabama but Trump insisted it would, so he had to correct nature and history itself at the same time with a stroke of his pen. “I was wrong about Alabama. Guess that’s why I’m not a weatherman” or saying nothing at all would have been two better ways to handle a situation no one cared about until he lied about it. Stated that the Boy Scouts of America President called him, saying his speech to them was “the best speech he ever heard”. The phone call never happened as verified by the president of the BSA. The Health Plan. The Big Beautiful Healthcare Plan to take the place of Obama-Care. “It’s coming in 2 weeks”. It’s coming in two weeks.” “It’s coming in 2 weeks”. That’s not a typo. That’s Trump’s claims again and again and again. 8 years later, we’re still waiting for the Big, Beautiful Healthcare Plan. Trump has claimed he was named Michigan’s Man of The Year. He’s never lived in Michigan. Was never named their man of the year. Why say this? It goes on and on and on and on. Lies. Exaggerations. All unnecessary. His other favorite way to lie or exaggerate is using phrases such as, “People say…” or “All the smart people are saying…” or “Everyone is saying…” then he’ll give some weird unnecessary “fact”. “People are saying windmill noise causes cancer.” “Everyone loves my Big Beautiful Healthcare Plan.” There are literally too many examples of this to quote. It's his “go to” when he doesn’t have the facts behind him.
Fifteen - Bone Spurs. Maybe his greatest lie was told to avoid military service. Maybe he honestly wasn't physically fit for the job. We'll never know the truth because he's a chronic liar who can't be trusted to tell reality from fantasy.
So, there you have it. I don't have all day to write more. But with this list, it would be easy to assume that Trump voters, along with myself, are idiots for voting for such a crooked, lying, narcissist who has no problem conning his own supporters out of their hard earned money.
The other option is I'm in on the grift and not to be trusted. Those are the only two choices, right? There is no third option.
Tomorrow I'll discuss the third option. The one most Trump haters can't seem to put together. It's like their self awareness button has been disabled.
But for now. It's your day, Trump haters. " I'm concerned with Trump in power because I feel he will ________________________________."
I know it's difficult because you have so much to say on this issue, but please keep your answer short and concise. Too much reading causes people to simply ignore everything you wrote. Believe me, I know! One or two lines will suffice. Hopefully more will come behind you and fill in more of your thoughts. Tell your Trump-Hater friends to pile onto my site, TODAY ONLY! All other arguments supporting Trump will be quickly deleted. This isn't time for arguing, this is a time to listen to why your fellow Americans are concerned with our leader and to understand their thoughts without judgment. For those of you who think Trump is the next Messiah and God's Chosen Holy Instrument, you may be right. God used the evil tyrant Pharoah of Egypt in the Bible to achieve his purposes... but that didn't make Pharoah a good man.
See you tomorrow with the third option in voting for America's favorite con man.
