Much like the way you rooted for Walter White or Dexter Morgan, or Tony Montana, or John Wick or any number of anti-heroes - you know these guys are bad, but there's more to them the more their story unfolds. But Donald Trump - the more you know about his backstory, the more you just flat out hate him.
