45: Merely the figurehead of Obama haters. But a single-issue correllation with his base.

Aside from his hatred of Obama, and his ego-driven desire to undo everything Obama did, he has nothing what-so-ever in common with his base.

The fact that the gop can get nothing done while holding all 3 branches of government, proves that even that hate, which is monumental, still isn't enough to effectively run a chicken coup.

Hate is the rake holding down the cat's tail, making it run in circles.

Oh, there are very strong negative feelings, envy and resentment no doubt. His behavior is pretty...amazing.

But people keep accusing him of real hate. I've seen no indication that he is capable of the kind of hate that rules some of his followers. Hate requires focusing intense emotion and attention on something other than one's self, and he can't do that.

But devoid of act any ideology beyond "It's All Me" as he is, don't forget that there is ONE other issue they share. THE WALL. A monument to himself. I believe that's why he's so focused on The Wall when he wobbles and caves on every other promise. (DACA is punted to congress because he lacks the guts, and passion, to do it himself.)

Obama is the man Trump wished he could be. He is the human being Trump will never be.
