I am one of those people who have to regularly tell myself to look at his policies/actions rather than what he says. He is an asshole, he lies regularly, will say whatever comes to mind regardless if it directly contradicts his actions. But, as a veteran, I appreciate that he hasn't started any new wars and has continued the draw-down of others.
Here are a few reasons I didn't vote for him (I also didn't vote for Biden):
-The deficit has continued to get out of control and as a "renowned businessman" he has not done enough for this problem.
-The stock market IS NOT the economy, large publicly traded companies are doing well and receiving bailouts while many small companies are not getting the same treatment.
-His policy making has favored people close to him
-He only surrounds himself with yes men, anytime someone disagrees he publicly shames them then fires them
-He is abrasive and has been a key part of the growing divide in our country. I think some of that is fine, but after 4 years I am simply exhausted.
-He uses the law as a crutch when it is convenient for him, but then claims it's RIGGED when it doesn't go his way.
-He is not a republican, he does whatever is best for him:

"Trump registered as a Republican in
Manhattan in 1987 and since that time has changed his party affiliation five times. In 1999, Trump changed his party affiliation to the
Independence Party of New York. In August 2001, Trump changed his party affiliation to Democratic. In September 2009, Trump changed his party affiliation back to the Republican Party. In December 2011, Trump changed to "no party affiliation" (
independent). In April 2012, Trump again returned to the Republican Party.[SUP]

In a 2004 interview, Trump told CNN's
Wolf Blitzer: "In many cases, I probably identify more as Democrat", explaining: "It just seems that the economy does better under the Democrats than the Republicans. Now, it shouldn't be that way. But if you go back, I mean it just seems that the economy does better under the Democrats...But certainly we had some very good economies under Democrats, as well as Republicans. But we've had some pretty bad disaster under the Republicans."[SUP]

Personally, I have a hard time believing anyone LIKES Trump and they just vote red because their beliefs better align with that political party, I have no issues with that. I also think people are waaaaay over-reacting about Biden turning us into a communist country. Bernie would have caused us to take more steps in that direction but the people with money would never let Bernie win. Folks really need to educate themselves on communism.
These are just my opinions, if you quote me asking for proof I will just give you the finger. I have already spent too much time on this and don't care that your Nazi loving boyfriend refuses to accept Trump lost.
