Charles Blow - Trump comment: "I want to Hate" NY Times:

This is an very ugly story. At the end Trump says, "I want to hate..." But in the story we see, Trump was hating innocent people. Towards the end of the article, Trump explains his, "hate" But, he does not apologize for getting the "hate" wrong..that is hating innocent people. Men who were proven innocent. Trump never apologizes for publicizing that hate of innocent people.

Long read, but exceptional in defining Trump and his "hate"

Too bad their churches are in favor of hate, or some might have been talked out of it.

"That to me is the thing with this man: He wants to hate. "


"This hateful spirit envelopes him, consumes him and animates him."



“Mayor Koch has stated that hate and rancor should be removed from our hearts. I do not think so. I want to hate these muggers and murderers. They should be forced to suffer and, when they kill, they should be executed for their crimes.”



This is not so unique a behavior for someone who is an empty shell of a living being. There is no life in him. There is nothing but death inside him. He feels NOTHING. He wants to feel SOMETHING. So, generating a negative emotion - hatred - is the only way he can feel alive.

It is the only way we recover when this is over. We must fight back. Trump never stops, so we can't either.
