This is what i believe is happening in America. Half of Americans hate the President, very similar to the way that almost half of Americans hated the prior President. The issue, I believe, is the media. They manipulate news, they release stories timed for dramatic effect, and they compel so many Americans to believe that the current President is a right-wing, fascist, misogynistic, racist with ill intent for the country. I believe that the President is much more of a normal person. He got caught saying some awful things on record. He is so hated because he wants to "drain the swamp" of the deep state. That includes the RINOs, the newspaper editors, the TV company presidents, and the Dems. I don't love everything he says, everything he votes for, or everything that he does. But, I'm not some asshole who wants him dead for absolutely no reason. This country is crumbling from economic waste, globalism, immigration. It needs to be controlled from within.

Kill the puppet and thousands more can take it's place.

The public is more worried about enemies foreign than domestic, and those who they consider domestic enemies are the puppets of the real domestic enemies: CIA, deepstate, shadow government, banksters, media, etc.
