100 Reasons Why I Don’t Like Trump
(in no particular order)
1. He lies, not the occasional lie that is common in politics, but so frequently and so absurdly that either he is not in touch with reality or it is a strategy designed to make truth less important.
2. He has slept with porn stars, then denied it.
3. He facilitated payments (bribes) to porn stars to silence to them, and got the National Enquirer to buy and kill stories related to the scandal.
4. He has bragged about grabbing pussy and kissing women without consent.
5. He mocked a disabled reporter.
6. He uses four letter words in public discourse, which, for me, is inappropriate for the President of the United States.
7. He cheated on all three of his wives.
8. He dodged military service by claiming bone spurs in his foot.
9. He won’t release his taxes. He originally said it was because they were under audit. Anybody still believe him?
10. He put people in charge of federal agencies who had beliefs that were antithetical to the missions of those agencies for the purpose of gutting the work the agencies do.
11. He said he wanted to drain the swamp, then he brought numerous people to Washington who ended up being swamp creatures.
12. He obstructed justice in the Muller investigation. Yes, this has not been proven in a court of law, but a simple reading of the Muller report makes it clear, even with the summary and redactions that Bill Barr executed for the purpose of protecting the President.
13. He reacted slowly to the onset of Covid; indeed he began handling the crisis by denying it was a crisis. This cost thousands of American lives.
14. He refused to wear a mask, and therefore so did his followers, which added to the loss of life.
15. He advocated treatments for Covid, even saying he was using one, that proved to be unsafe. Followers acted on this misinformation. This took more American lives.
16. He encouraged chants of “Lock Her Up” during his campaign. This was a dangerous precedent and beneath someone who wanted to be President. If someone commits a crime, it is fair game to investigate, press charges, and let the wheels of justice grind away; it is inappropriate to stoke a mob reaction.
17. He admires strong arm dictators, and aspires to be one.
18. He doesn’t educate himself about issues, disdaining written reports and rejecting experts.
19. He has undermined and refused to follow the advice of America’s intelligence community.
21. He said that Putin told him that Russia didn’t interfere in our election and that he believed Putin.
22. He withdrew from the Paris Accords.
23. He is a climate change denier. This is also costing American lives, and will do so in much greater numbers going forward.
24. When neo-Nazis marched in Charlotte and an innocent woman was killed, he said there were good people on both sides.
25. He eased environmental regulations that protect human life and the natural world, solely for the purpose of helping rich people make more money.
26. He advocated the birther theory that Obama was not born in the United States, a position that was never supported by evidence and that was conclusively disproven.
27. He took out a full page ad in the New York Times calling for the death penalty for the Central Park 5. They were since exonerated. He refuses to apologize.
28. As President he consistently attacked and blamed Obama for anything and everything, violating the norm that Presidents act respectfully toward their predecessors in public.
29. While he criticized Obama for playing golf so much while President, Trump played far more golf than Obama, and at far greater cost to the American taxpayer.
30. His tax package benefited the very wealthy far more than the average citizen. It also exacerbated the deficit, something Republicans are supposed to be against.
31. His rhetoric has brought white nationalism and other haters out of the woodwork and normalized ugly politics that had been largely discredited in America.
32. He has been the divider in chief, polarizing America and making it harder to have respectful discourse and to respect honest disagreement.
33. As President, he took direction from conservative talk show hosts.
34. He said, “I could walk down Fifth Avenue and shoot someone, and my followers would still support me.”
35. He enacted a policy that separated migrant children from their parents and put the children in cages.
36. He used acting appointments to avoid getting Senate approval, as required, for key administration roles.
37. His charitable foundation was found to be corrupt, using philanthropic money for personal gain. It was forced to shut down as a result.
38. Trump University settled the fraud lawsuit against it after he swore it never would, suggesting that it was a scam as alleged by the plaintiffs.
39. He used his role as President to enrich himself, bringing business to his hotels and golf courses, refusing to place assets in a blind trust, and even trying to get the G7 to take place at one of his properties.
40. He uses non-disclosure agreements to hide his errant behavior.
41. He does not respect the judiciary, directing inappropriate insults at judges who make decisions he doesn’t like.
42. He has a reputation for cheating and bullying his creditors.
43. He retweets vile things.
44. Upset by a Megyn Kelly debate question, he said, “You could see there was … blood coming out of her wherever.”
45. He said he wanted to buy Greenland.
46. Despite being told otherwise by the National Weather Service, he insisted that Hurricane Dorian would hit Alabama. It never did.
47. He promised huge investments in US infrastructure before being elected President. It never happened! That is, until Biden passed his infrastructure bill.
48. He maligned John McCain, an American hero, saying he preferred people who did not get captured.
49. He has mocked soldiers who served and soldiers who lost their lives, calling them losers and suckers.
50. He referred to developing nations as “shithole countries.”
51. Nepotism — he gave his daughter and son-in-law White House positions, and he ousted the Republican National Chairperson and put is daughter-in-law in charge. None of them were qualified.
52. He has frequently tweeted poor grammar and misspellings — the President of the United States should get a proofreader if he is English-challenged.
53. He coins insulting nicknames for political rivals; it is sophomoric.
54. He has insulted and alienated American allies and is widely disrespected abroad.
55. He sold out the Kurds, resulting in slaughter.
56. He withheld aide to Ukraine in an effort to get its leader to open an investigation into Joe Biden and son. He was not convicted in his impeachment trial, but that doesn’t mean what he did was right.
57. He fired Colonel Vindman and his brother because of the Colonel’s truthful testimony in the impeachment trial.
58. He has fired inspector generals, thereby eliminating oversight of executive conduct.
59. He has fired attorneys general for pursuing legal actions he didn’t like.
60. He had police violently clear a peaceful protest so he could appear at a photo op at a church whose leader objected to his presence.
61. He has repeatedly used music at rallies without permission from the artists.
62. His bankruptcies. How can someone who can’t keep his private businesses afloat be trusted with the largest economy in the world?
63. He lamented that the military could not shoot peaceful protesters in their legs.
64. He has referred to migrants fleeing hardship as invaders despite the fact that they have all been peaceful.
65. He has done so many things that are so obviously wrong that he has moved the needle of what is acceptable behavior by a President and created precedents that may haunt us forever.
66. An unseemly number of his administration appointees resigned or got fired, many in scandal. Compare this with the Obama and Biden administrations, which were virtually scandal free.
67. He has been convicted of 34 felonies by a jury of his peers.
68. He took classified documents to Mara Lago. When he was asked to return them, he attempted to hide them.
69. He abuses the legal system. If you or I did the things he has done, we’d have been held accountable, but he hires armies of attorneys and uses delay, intimidation, and endless appeals to avoid liability.
70. He refused to concede that he had lost the election even though he knew he had lost.
71. He tried to stop the peaceful transfer of power, including soliciting fake electors.
72. He pressured Georgia’s Secretary of State, Raffensperger, to change the results of the election and is on tape asking him to “find 11,780 votes.”

74. When rioters stormed the Capitol, he grabbed a soft drink and watched on TV, rather than asking them to stop.
75. He denies that people died on Jan 6.
76. He says he will pardon Jan 6 rioters.

78. He sabotaged a bipartisan bill endorsed by border police that would have addressed problems with immigration.
79. He does not support Ukraine despite consensus in the west that Ukraine’s survival is essential in order to stop Russian expansionism.
80. He has had numerous contacts with Putin since leaving the Presidency, and he sent Covid equipment to Putin as President. Something is wrong with Trump-Putin!
81. He has praised Hitler.
82. He chose Vance.
83. His supporters have turned the House of Representatives into a clown show.
84. A significant number of people who worked in his administration have said he is unfit to hold office.
85. He tried to destroy Obamacare. He still has no plan of his own, despite multiple promises that he would unveil one.
86. He has said he’ll be a dictator on day one. What does he mean by this? It sounds bad coming from someone many believe wants to be a dictator. He could clarify it. He hasn’t.
87. He suggested that black people like him because of his mug shot.
88. He is proud of his role in getting Roe v Wade overturned. He tells the lie that everyone wanted this to happen.
89. He makes inappropriate promises to donors in exchange for campaign contributions.
90. He has stated that if he is elected, there won’t need to be another election. Maybe he didn’t mean that he intends to replace democracy with autocracy, but note that this is also something he could clarify, and hasn’t.
91. He sells weird stuff — including digital collectibles, sneakers, and signed bibles. This is beneath someone who wants to be President!
92. He and his company were found guilty of fraud for inflating the values of assets in order to secure loans. He owes $355 million plus interest.
93. A jury concluded that he raped E. Jean Carroll. He lost two defamation lawsuits for denying this for a total of $88 million.
94. He lied about post-hurricane help from FEMA.
95. He plans to put Elon Musk in charge of an efficiency commission which will likely review the very regulations that govern Musk’s business. What could go wrong?
96. He said that Democrats want to make it legal to kill babies after birth.
97. He blamed Democratic rhetoric for the attempt on his life. Trump’s violent rhetoric has been consistently worse than anything on the Dem side.
98. After 15,000 people showed up at a Kamala rally, he declared that no one was there, that the crowd was AI generated, despite clear photo documentation from media and attendees.
99. In his debate with Kamala, he said that immigrants were eating people’s cats and dogs.
100. He has stated that Kamala recently became black.
101. He is promising to enact tariffs that economists say will increase inflation and harm the average taxpayer.
102. He says ridiculous things during his talks, i.e., references to Hannibal Lecter, discussing whether it is better to be electrocuted or eaten by sharks, talking about Arnold Palmer’s penis size — really?
103. Oops, that’s more than 100!
