Reasons to Despise Trump

Was sued because apartment property shunned African-Americans in the 1970s. Was settled out of court.
Had the same lawyer as Joe McCarthy.
Was accused of rape by his first wife.
Bankrupted three casinos. Went deep into debt. Played the system to avoid paying taxes.
Cheated on all of his wives.
Paid a porn star hush money for having sex.
Falsely accused Barack Obama for being born in Kenya.
Has been accused of sexual harassment by numerous women.
Refused to disclose tax returns.
Overstated personal worth.
Accused Mexican immigrants of being rapists.
Impugned John McCain's character.
Made numerous other false statements.
Other than that, he must be a nice guy.

Am I missing anything?

He had 2 kids by the hand getting them on Marine 1 reportedly taking them for weekend family fun. He said they were Ivanka's kids but that made zero sense that he would take them alone. Who knows..

A horrible crime, but they convicted the wrong kids. Eventually they got the right guy, but Trump still claims they were guilty.

I remember the full page ads at the time, and they were chilling.
