    It's not just that he has an 'awful personality'. It's that he is a true demagogue, and demagogues are always a threat to national security.

    That is an opinion. I will stick with bad personality. That, at least, is a fact. Good agenda, bad personality. Perhaps we will get DeSanitis who also has a good agenda and a better personality.

    A sore loser is a sore loser. After their team loses a football game, you have to listen to them whine about 'unfair' referees, etc. Its weak, but its aa good question. I mean, - what happened to these people?

    Trump is a demagogue, hands down, no ifs, buts, excuses, he is a demagogue.

    1. He galvanized a population and pandered to their biases in order to control them.
    2. His followers will follow him because of HIM, it doesn't matter what his policies are, they will follow him, which is the 'cult of personality'.
    3. He has declared the press the enemy of the people.
    4. He tried to get the DOJ to investigatte his percieved enemies.
    5. He tried to get the IRS to audit his perceived enemies.
    6. He lies incessantly, he has declared that his opponent cannot win unless they rig the election.

    These are all classic traits of a demagogue, wikipedia

    Demagogues exploit a perennial weakness of democracies: the greater numbers, and hence votes, of the lower classes and less-educated people—the people most prone to be whipped up into a fury and led to catastrophic action by an orator skilled at fanning that kind of flame.

    In American history, (at least in my memory which goes back to Eisenhower) he is the first demagogue.

    Hillary Clinton
    Fake news
    Yet he provided the best economy in decades. So who got sold of media fake news
    Fake news
    False, He declared fake news as the enemy of the people.
    Fake news
    Yet the only party to actually get the DOJ to investigate their perceived enemies were democrats.
    How many committees and investigations did the Trump administration enact to investigate Democrats?
    None,
    Fake news
    Yet it was the IRS who targeted conservatives and had to make a public apology for doing so.
    When did they claim they targeted Democrats. Oh yeah, Never
    Fake news
    Yet it was Democrats who ran advertisements to get electors to falsify their vote in 2016
    Yet it was Democrats who voted to get rid of electors in joint session in 2016 to change the outcome of an election
    Yet it was Democrats who falsified documents to federal judges to get illegal FISA warrants to change the outcome of an election
    Yet is was Democrats who instituted the fake claim of Trump being a Russian plant to use the DOJ to attack their enemy
    Yet it was Democrats who got caught with fake claims in two fake impeachments trying to change the outcome of the election
    Yet it was Democrats who supported Hillary Clinton book tour about a stolen election

    So who are the ones devoted to fake news?
    Democrats
    Anything else or does that about cover it
