I don't hate Trump and think it's weird that some of his devotees associate objective analyses and opinions regarding his presidential actions with 'hatred' when those analyses and opinions are not positive.
The fact is that Trump's vague and vociferous campaign promises are off to a bad start: the travel/immigration ban is on hold for the second time, the healthcare repeal and replace plan has been delayed (by Republicans) because the replacement plan is shitty and short-sighted, Mexico is not paying for The Wall, Trump has not drained the swamp of lobbyists -- he's instead populated his administration with lobbyists, etc...
And, speaking of lobbyists, the conservative billionaire Koch Brothers very much opposed the Trump/Ryan healthcare bill and offered up millions to campaign against it yesterday, calling it Obamacare 2.0.
So far, I'm not seeing Trump as the great 'Negotiator In Chief", as Kellyanne Conway likes to call him.
Hopefully, Trump (and/or those who whisper in his ear) are learning from these early failures and will get better at governing and putting Americans' interests first, instead of trying to rush things through for personal political gain (and relying on threats and juvenile insults to get their way).
