at a purely psychological level, I think the Trump hatred is motivated by pure emotion.

let me explain.

to the person suffering from TDS, there is tremendous dissonance between the reality of Trump and their emotional response.

his gross, crude, egotistical way of speaking and acting, triggers them so much that they are having a visceral disgust reaction.

so they have to make the reality of Trump match their emotional perception of him.

it’s not enough to be a disgusting carnival barker, he must be a Russian agent and the next Hitler.

this is the animating spirit behind the Trump Derangement Syndrome...
