Why Does Everyone Pick on Trump?

Warning: if you're a Trump supporter, this article is for you but it won't make you happy.

If you have always moved throughout life and career dealing with only people who seemed to like you, and if you have enough money and influence to attract certain types of people into your microcosm of life then you might think that this is the way the bigger world works.

Donald Trump has always had the ability to manipulate people and situations to his advantage and call the shots from a safe distance. He's been able to cover up his mistakes and private messes with lawyers who he keeps on retainer with their bags of dirty tricks such as NDA's to keep ex-wives and lovers quiet. With his brand, Trump moved from a bankrupt real estate developer to a top reality star with a Mark Burnett brain child creation: The Apprentice. This show bolstered Trumps image even more and made America believe that he was this calm reasoning but hard success story that everyone wanted to be.

As he turned his eye toward politics, we saw another side of this American brand. He was deeply spiteful of the first African American President, Barack Obama. He not only resented his policies but stirred in the hearts of the racial suspects the one thing which no one else questioned about any other president, and that was Obama's legitimacy to hold the office via his birther conspiracies.  He was making this a personal thing against this President. Even when a reporter tried to hand Trump a copy of Obama's long form certificate of birth, the Apprentice star questioned its authenticity and wouldn't take the document from the reporter's hand. He just remarked, "uh-- you can just leave it there on the table and I will take a look at it later-- uh I have some people going to Hawaii to investigate and find his real birth place." (That never happened) His aim of course was to help Mitt Romney in 2011 to make Obama a one term president.

Obama's popularity and re-election pushed past the birther conspiracies. Then at the White House Correspondents Dinner the then President hit back with a routine of comedy and humor which poked fun at the whole birther thing. Trump sat there in the middle of the room of reporters and media types with a look of controlled grimace. The accusations from him and his birther posse had not uncovered anything dark and sinister and it didn't damage Obama's presidency, but made the President a master of comeback jesting. And from the look on Trump's face, he did not take it well. Trump then decided that he would prove to the world that he could do Obama's job better. He would do it his way and get all of the praise and adulation that this fake undeserving Kenyan was stealing for himself.

fame and board room skills would be the key to overcoming anything that the media or anyone would throw at him. It would become apparent that he saw himself as being superior to the first African American President. He remarked how Obama's dealing with Putin made him and us look weak. Toughness was the key in his mind. At his rallies he seemed to enjoy the rowdiness of his base where he would whip them up into a frenzy over (what he dubbed) the fake news media, yell to the crowd when a protestor stood up and shouted at him. "Get them out of here!!!" and "Knock the hell out of them!!!"  He co-signed onto the unhinged and dangerous violence with his base of supporters as though it was just more reality show drama but now in the political arena.

The most telling thing about Trump was his attitude that now that He was President, he deserved the respect and loyalty of everyone in America whether he was right or wrong. Trump feels extremely persecuted when the media won't back him up, or when people in general in this free republic express their outrage or disgust over something that he has done that is not for the common good of all. With this new Coronavirus threat that we face, the buck doesn't stop until it hits the previous president.

In short, it's Obama's fault for the mess we're facing, but I'm here to do things better.

Even if you're not a big fan of the 44th President of the United States, you have to admit that Trump's obsession with blaming him or other people who he doesn't like has become more obvious through his childish tweeting, and just inserting himself into issues on Twitter that are unpresidential.
Trump can't get over why the press has reported on his activities and shortcomings in ways that don't make him look so good. His base of supporters will swarm, and troll social media with defenses of his actions like a blind parent who screams "stop picking on my child-- Just leave him alone!!!" I can't seem to get out of my head this bully who doesn't play well with others. And then when it's turned on him, he screams for his mommy.

I must stop and ask this question: What job did this President think he was going to be taking on? He seems to believe that he's the most picked on President ever. With all of his wild and questionable behavior; both abroad and here in America, did he think in a free-speech society, no one would ever say a word about his behavior? There hasn't been (to my knowledge) any President who has escaped the criticism of the press, deserving or not.

Why does everyone pick on Trump? Why does Trump name call and bully people, and go to rallies like a person goes to a therapist when they're losing the ability to cope? High TV ratings doesn't make you bulletproof.  If that is what his thoughts have been, then he's conned himself.  Maybe it's time to quit and go back to the TV boardroom.
