Is anybody else like this? When he's speaking, I have to turn the TV off. I'm not exaggerating. I obviously want to know what ridiculousness he's spouting (which I end up reading about later), but I just can't stand him to the point where listening to him is highly uncomfortable. On occasion, I will manage to grind through a couple minutes, but that's about it. Everything he says makes me angry. I can't stand to hear his voice. He's repulsive. I don't think I'll watch his teleprompter speech tonight, even though it will be written by somebody else.

I wouldn't piss on him if he was on fire. F him and the lies he rode in on.

(9,426 posts)The way he purses his anus mouth, the way he moves his shoulders everything he does is repulsive to me. Repeating some phrases, losing his place on the teleprompter or notes. He is such an ASS. I absolutely LOATHE him.

(111,261 posts)I hate feeling like that.
I also can't stand his heavy Noo Yawk accent or his tics or his studied hand gestures or anything about that man.
I want him GONE.

(9,808 posts)I can *barely* cope with watching his body language and reading the captions.
Plus, the only thing he cares about are ratings, and I refuse to participate in his attention supply.

(31,388 posts)I end up yelling at the TV to tell him to STFU because he's talking out his ass. And the shit he does with his hand gestures!
He is such an arrogant, ignorant a$$hole.
CatMor
(6,212 posts)since the day he announced he was running. I found him to be repulsive long before the campaign. I never watched The Apprentice or bought any of his books. He disgusts me and is definitely dangerous to my health.

(5,210 posts)I was absolutely unable to listen to him -- NOT because his voice, or speaking style or anything else. It was a psychic defense, like pulling out a crucifix to ward off vampires. Even on those occasions I TRIED to listen to him, my mind would wander and turn him off completely.
For some reason, I don't have that trouble with Trump. But gag reflex is another matter . . . .

(7,615 posts)I find Trump's total inability to speak coherently to be amusing. Since I'm often in need of a good laugh, I very rarely miss a chance to hear Trump speak.
onethatcares
(16,168 posts)then I'm flipping the bird at the teeveee, cussing, and mo fo ing, and getting ready to kick in something I paid for.
So I just jump up and down in the living room with my middle fingers blocking the screen yelling all kinds of things.
2nd place finisher: the shrub. can't even type his name

(5,810 posts)His hand gestures absolutely annoy me no end. Has anyone ever done an analysis of his gestures and speculated on why he does them? The bent index finger, the spreading of his hands, the circle made with thumb and index finger. All of it. Just drives me bonkers.
And his limited vocabulary sends my blood pressure inching upward. Someone posted a thread this morning on the drinking game we could play while listening for certain words or phrases we could expect to hear. It took no time at all to come up with a list of words sure to make their way into that speech tonight. That's because he has a limited vocabulary. Very limited. We have him pegged.

(243 posts)I will not look at or listen to that loathsome abomination---not ever. I get my daily dose of outrage by reading. Same goes for all the lying GOP liars who love to get on TV and spout their baldfaced lies. They all offend me to the very depths of my being. Change the channel!

(4,165 posts)I also will not watch his speech tonight. Listening to the clips will be bad enough.
Also, I can't stand that picture of him with his hands on Bannon's shoulders. It looks like they are both passing a BM.

He is absolutely revolting.
He's nothing but a narcissist who is proud of his own ugliness.

(9,760 posts)the primaries. My husband actually watched or listened to all the debates & and earlier interviews, but now, when we watch Colbert, Seth Meyers, or whatever, one of us is always on Mute duty.
Just as with Caribou Barbie, whose screechy voice is also highly irritating, it's not just the voice. It's the belligerent ignorance, stunted vocabulary, and deadly assault on reason that makes listening to either of them prohibitively torturous.
Orrex
(63,212 posts)When NPR features him during my commute, I immediately switch the station. W was hard to take, but mostly because he was inarticulate.
Trump's voice and diction are every bit as punchable as his face.
