(7,288 posts)To say I Hate this person would imply that I once loved him.
I have never liked what I saw displayed in the news back in the 80's and 90's. I never watched Apprentice and frankly couldn't understand how any one would. The few clips that would be shown on ads seemed so freaking moronic, how was it possible that our culture could support a tv show like that. And anyone like him.
When he tossed his hat and started campaigning I soon realized (it didn't take long) that this person was seriously mentally ill. I'm not a doctor but it's not required in real life to be able to take a look at any of the scenes from his rallies and KNOW that this guy was a whacked out nut job and dangerous.
Dislike, loath, contempt, revolted yes all that and more. But the term HATE is weird to apply, because it requires one has to have loved that person before it turned to hate.
