Having chosen to now become a public servant, I withhold my judgment regarding Trump in this manner until I see the evidence. He certainly didn't need to run for office for the money or the fame. My opinion at this point in time is that he ran, not to elevate himself, because I hardly think he needs to do that, but because he does desire to right some wrongs in our country and realizes the only way to do it is to get one's hands dirty. Now I could be proven incorrect about this, but I prefer to reserve my right to judge until I see a reason to do so, just as I did for Obama. In other words, how about giving him a chance to do the job first before criticizing?
I think that the reason the Clinton's and Obama continue to come up in discussions regarding Trump is because if you want to make comparisons, I'm not sure anyone could match the character defects of the Clinton's or the arrogance of Obama - even Trump! So your hatred toward Trump is confusing to me when you admonish those who show similar contempt for Obama. If all it has to do with is lying, which you reference quite a bit, I think the Clinton's and Obama could give Trump a run for his money in that arena!

I never said I hated Trump...cannot recall ever HATING anyone.
He is and has been a public figure thus we know a lot of Trump. He has never changed one iota. Going back to his illegal housing stories, even up to just this past epweek or so and his outright lies concerning his foundation, he has never missed a beat.
Since becoming President Elect, he has trashed my country's intelligence agencies and did it publicly to insure embarrassment to all. He has tried, and succeeded to insure the spotlight remains on him.
Given his awful, egoist, despicable, immoral behavior his entire life, I would bE willing to give him a chance in some areas, but he has shown in the last few weeks, he still does not get it.
F he would release his tax returns, I would step back a bit, but he will not. See, this man who rails against people for being not transparent remains the most secretive man to enter the WH eve. The huge risk of him being so deep in debt to countries like Russia, Turkey, Iran, etc is a big deal to me. I suppose if you accept his refusal to not share this with the country, you probably don't care about his terribly flawed character.
But, I hate no person, so your use of thepat word is wrong.
Lack of trust, total lack at this point makes me very very skeptical. He cannot nor has he gone a week without a lie
I must add this. I always found that in making judgements on people looking at there "idols" or mentors tells a lot.
Despite himself, when I hear him praise Alex Jones, and choose people like Steve Bannon to be his close advisor, it adds even more to my mistrust. They, as Trump, were famous and renowned before this election as conspiracy theorists, alt right extremist. Those views do not fit my view of America. I mentioned I do not hate,,,,these men not only hate, they have made careers out of promulgating it.
