I hate to be judgmental, and I'm open to having my mind changed, but everyone who is in his camp (and there seems very little in between) is either :
(a) a racist
(b) a closet racist
(c) not very bright
(d) downright nasty
(e) suffering from some kind of delusion
(f) some combination of the above
I know how pompous and condescending that must sound, but that's what I believe.

is that I despise his world view and policies. But I understand that people vote for politicians with those views, there are examples from all over the world and throughout time. The bit I dont understand is that people voted for a man who sounds like a poorly educated kid every time he opens his mouth.

So, if he was a bit less volatile and better spoken, you could forgive the continual incitement of hatred, racism, misogyny, corruption, fascist-courting, fake-anti-establishment bullshit?
Just cut out the Twitter rants and pretend to be a bit nicer for the cameras and you're good, Mr. President.
The problem with centrism in a nutshell. Previous Message
Could you help me try to understand something.
His policies; I disagree with nearly all of them but accept we all have different views and can understand what people see in them.
His political style; I sometimes find it amusing that people on the left who have spent their lives criticizing the establishment and institutions of the state are now appalled with his lack of respect for them. I think id quite like someone who shared my views in power giving a metaphorical middle finger to the establishment. So Im fine with that bit.
Not accepting the accusations against him; Again I
get that, most of them arent clear cut and we like to think the best of ppl we agree with.
The man himself, his personal style; This is the bit I struggle with, how do you not cringe every time he opens his mouth. He often struggles to string to comprehensible sentences together. Most foreign leaders are more eloquent in a second language than he is in his only language. Does this not bother you at all?
Could someone help me with this last one specifically.....
