Public Sentiment Towards Trump's Presidency in the U.S.

The sentiment among U.S. citizens towards Donald Trump's presidency has been highly polarized. Some citizens express profound satisfaction and even admiration, while the majority, particularly those with a clear sense of morality and intelligence, express deep dissatisfaction and even disgust. This essay explores the diverse public sentiment towards Trump's presidency, with a particular focus on the reasons behind the negative sentiment of a majority of the population.

Admiration and Admiration of Idiots

There are segments of the public, often referred to as 'idiots' by those more enlightened, who express unwavering support for President Trump. These individuals often engage in public displays that glorify his style of leadership, such as rolling in the mud and appearing unintelligent. More alarmingly, some support is found among white supremacists and other extremist groups. It is clear that such individuals prioritize ignorance and prejudice over truth and justice.

White Supremacists and Extreme Supporters

One of the most disturbing aspects of the Trump presidency has been the growth of support among white supremacists and ‘Nazi lovers’. These groups have become prominent in their admiration of Trump, indicating a worrying shift towards extremist ideologies. This support is deeply troubling, as it not only endangers democracies but also perpetuates harmful and divisive beliefs.

Discernment and Disgust

Those with a discerning mind and a sense of common decency view Trump’s leadership with profound disdain. It becomes evident that Trump is not just a poor leader; he is also an outright criminal. The evidence of his criminal activities is undeniable, and many believe that he should be held to account for his actions rather than allowed to live freely.

Personality, Behavior, and Policies

Trump's personality and behavior have had a profound impact on the public. His behavior alternates between extremity and depression, leading many to question his mental stability. His presidency was marked by over-the-top antics and a consistent display of poor judgment. His lack of intelligence is evident in his propensity for associating with criminal individuals and his inability to manage the country effectively. Most notably, his response to the COVID-19 pandemic was inadequate, and his disregard for scientific advice raised concerns about his competence in leadership.

Support for Biden and Election Outcomes

With over 80 million people relieved that Trump's presidency is over, it is clear that many citizens are eagerly looking forward to a new administration under Joe Biden. The election of Biden was seen as a significant step towards restoring rationality and competence in government. The 35–40% who might have supported Trump in future elections were expected to have been dissuaded by their insights into his behavior and policies. This sentiment suggests that a shift in support occurred, and a majority preferred Biden's approach to governance.

Conclusion

The sentiment towards Donald Trump's presidency in the United States is deeply divided, but the majority clearly aligned with the view that his actions and policies were harmful and unsatisfactory. The negative sentiment is rooted in his lack of intelligence, inappropriate behavior, and the demonstrated incompetence in managing the country. The election of Joe Biden represents a victory for common sense and a return to more rational governance.
