Have you ever met a human being as repulsive as Trump?

I have never met anyone as disgusting. I cannot see one single redeeming quality in him. I feel nothing but disgust every time I hear his voice, see his face or read his ignorant, bigoted rants that play to the worst aspects of human nature. He is the ultimate example of a spoiled brat with a distorted sense of entitlement who turned into a psychopath. I cannot say I hate him, but I hate every single thing he represents and the damage he is causing. I have never met anyone who is anywhere near as vile. Is he the most disgusting person you know?

he has not passed any legislation. He can't controll the minds of 63% of the population. He is selfish but careless. He's damaged the country and its spirit. But he is no Hitler. People use Trump and not the other way around. Bannon, Priebus, Miller, the GOP, Putin are all more masterminds than Trump and use Trump. He doesn't change anyone's thinking like a psychopath would. He just uses what obvious hot buttons he can find in his base. He's a bullshitter. A salesguy. But no match for the Putins of the world.

One guy was an absolute bullshitter who was able to tell each person exactly what they wanted to hear. For me, early twenties, my beautiful daughter would like to meet a nice guy like you, as I stood next to my boss who was about to do a contract with him for rented office furniture.

I told my boss that he was was wrong, but it went through, and his furniture became locked up in a building office for non payment of lease.

There are many more examples, but it’s the one I remember most.

I try to have as little exposure to his words and actions as possible.

The night it was obvious that he would be the next president I resolved to not let him ruin my pleasure and joy in life.

He is the complete opposite of my kind, polite spouse, who never bragged about his accomplishments nor felt the need to build himself up, nor resorted name-calling.

I get news of his actions and words by reading and hearing them second-hand, for the most part. Thus I can be informed of current affairs without having to be disgusted or repulsed by viewing this person who projects himself upon the universe hour by hour.

Great harm is being done every day by this person, and I fear that much of it is not reversible.
The optimist in me hopes that his tenure will be short- one way or another- and that we can once again live in normality.

It will take a long time, but we can do it. I may not see the reversal in my lifetime, but it will come.

Our democracy is fragile. We need to realize that whenever we think we are the strongest country in the world. All democracy is fragile. We are not superheroes.

For me the answer would be no. We've all met shitheels of various stripes and levels of shitheeldom but nothing like this guy for me. Of course the psychiatrists have weighed in and they agree he is a special case of malignant narcissism. He is also vile as you write. And he is president. Still unbelievable.

I still looked at him and listened to him. I was sick of Dubya and hated his voice. I still listened and payed attention, although I often used bad language.

I can't look at 45. I can't listen. I do know a couple people IRL who affect me that way, but not quite as badly.

Yes, he is repulsive. Imagine having to deal with him in person, day in, day out.

His words = Trumps words and have been since I've been alive, before I even KNEW or HEARD of Trump. They are the perpetual victims and truly are afraid of being "found out" that they're not what they claim to be. The big tell is their use of superlatives and seeming larger than life. They are never to blame and always find reasons/excuses for their actions. He's the first to "organize movements" but the second they go south on him, others are to blame and he threatens to sue everyone. Lying is a way of life and they'll convince themselves something happened one way if it fits their narrative. It's not lying because they don't know (or rather, they reject) the truth - it simply happened their way and no other way. Sadly, his wife and his daughter are exactly the same way.

How do you stop them? You can't. I was hoping my brother's brain tumor would end it (ie after it was removed) but then I realized it's a tumor of the soul and that's there as long as the person is alive.

I do not 'hate' him either. That's not to say it sickens to have him parked in The Peoples' Whitehouse.

There have been and continue to be despicables through the ages. But when one of this degree is in 'our' Whitehouse assuming the highest office of our nation, it's quite unfathomable and unbearable.

He was the founder of the American Nazi Party and he spoke at Western Michigan University when I was a student there. His blathering bull shit turned my stomach. We wore black arm bands and turned our backs on him in the hall where he spoke. This was in the mid sixties. A few years later someone shot him in the street.

I never met Putin, but I was in Latvia and saw and heard of the horrible things he encouraged and instigated against the Latvians by the Russians who lived and worked there. They knew him as the devil he was years ago and warned me that he would continue to create tension and seek power.

In the 1980's, a man I worked for was friends with the Fisher brothers who were New York developers. I was invited to a cocktail party for a new office building they had built. I briefly met Donald Trump who had just rebuilt the Commodore Hotel next to Grand Central Station.

I hated him immediately and ever since. In an instant, it was clear that he was a selfish jackass. I've never understood how anyone could listen to him and not roll their eyes... or vomit.

He’s crude, oafish and bloated from eating junk and greasy fast food; his skin looks like an actual orange: the uneven fake-tan spray is caked onto his orange peel-like skin.

I don’t see this guy having any REAL friends in life. He says awful things about anybody/everybody. Who in their right mind would want to even be near him?

Can you imagine having to listen *in person* to the lies and all the bullshit he spreads every DAY, slathered with major helpings of first-person-singular whining? Or worse yet, when he’s mega-pissed at some weird details gone wrong and he’s bellowing at the top of his lungs?

What the deplorables see in him is beyond guessing. Apparently Trump is their Pied Piper
