hate him passionately should read this article.
When I read various blogs, I occasionally come across what I would describe to be passionate blind hatred for President Trump. Some bloggers even state that even though they do not totally disagree with President Trumps political goals on certain issues, they dislike his style or even hate him personally. Many blog passionately on the need to impeach Trump.
However, in today’s Chicago Tribune a columnist touched on the subject in an article titled, Trump is slashing knots that bound Obama, Bush, and Clinton.
I highly recommend everyone read it. Perhaps Trump haters might use some common sense thinking to help change or reduce their personal hatred about Trump’s style.
King Solomon
He who is slow to anger has great understanding, But he who is quick-tempered exalts folly. A tranquil heart is life to the body, but passion is rottenness to the bones. (Proverbs 14:29, 30)
a heart free from wrath, anger, and envy, and such like passions and perturbations; this contributes much to the health of the body, and the comfort of life: or a “healing heart”, or “spirit” (i); that is humane, kind, and friendly; that pities and heals the distresses of others, and makes up differences between persons at variance: (Excerpt Gils HERE)
In My Opinion
Frankly I find it hard to comprehend because President Trump won the election. If his haters do not want him to win the next election, they should be presenting their ideas to voters now what they will do to solve the reasons why voter chose Trump in the last election.
Perhaps if they did, it might contain their anger that has a risk of making themselves physically sick stewing about the results of the last election.
It also appears to me that much of Trump’s anger is a result of defending himself from personal attacks against him from those who hate his personal style instead of National issues. For example, what would they do to reduce trade deficits, border issues, reduce the national debt, pay for health care, or whatever their concerns,
You Decide
If after reading the article, should we just all calm down and recognize President Trump is not a politician. However, his style seems to be obtaining results that the voters want and the previous predecessors failed to succeed.

Is Trump a Fool?
https://rudymartinka.com/2017/08/18/king-solomon-is-donald-trump-a-fool-part-3/
A couple things here, Rudy…
1. One of the things I’ve tried to do since day one of my blog (started just after Trump took office) is try to understand the how’s and why’s he got elected, and that does not mean the science and math of it all, but rather why his base voted for him and where did these people originate. I’ve made many posts discussing that. In your post here, and in so many posts on other conservative blogs, the opposition is just collectively assigned “Trump haters” without any thought as to why. Especially when ALL conservatives like to defend Trump by promoting “look at all the good he has done”.. which is entirely highly subjective and debatable in itself. I cannot answer for other “Trump haters” but I do fully explain MY reasons Trump is not capable of being MY president. Just check out the “About Me” menu at the top.. I am quite specific. Of course he won legitimately and I do not know why conservatives constantly dwell on that when I see no liberal effort suggesting otherwise.. not a one. But my greater point here…. have you ever bothered to try and explore WHY there might be “Trump haters” out in the real world.. and try to understand issues rather than accept FOX News babble.. or Limbaugh nonsense?
2. I dunno about you, but I was in the Boy Scouts (I do see you support the organization) and I was taught that many knots serve a real purpose.. such as saving lives, saving yourself, or fulfilling a specific or a greater need to hold things in place. So the article using the cute metaphor of “knots” is not totally accurate when it suggests knots need untying; some knots are in place for a reason.
I can’t subscribe this quote originated with Solomon.. but in my book this conservative propensity to defend Trump with this “end-justifies-the-means” is pure nonsense.

I read your post link and again frankly cannot comprehend your train of thought.
So I guess my only reply to you is the same one my fourteen year old grandson gave me after I explained my opinion on a matter to him.
“Okay Grandpa (Doug) Whatever floats your boat.”

I looked at that post of yours. You actually think that Conservatives think the end justifies the means? Why? We keep telling you that the choice boiled down to H. Clinton and Donald Trump. So we voted for the lesser of two evils. What else were we supposed to do?
Frankly, Trump has done better than I expected. I just hope he continues to surprise. People like you certainly don’t make his life any easier.
Consider this excerpt from your comment.
“Of course he won legitimately and I do not know why conservatives constantly dwell on that when I see no liberal effort suggesting otherwise.. not a one. But my greater point here…. have you ever bothered to try and explore WHY there might be “Trump haters” out in the real world.. and try to understand issues rather than accept FOX News babble.. or Limbaugh nonsense?”
You say Trump won legitimately, but from the day he won people like you have been trying to take him down. And for what? Stuff that is made up? His style. Style is an impeachable offense?
How did Rudy respond? You don’t make any sense. Your entire post was based upon speculation and innuendo. Hard facts and logic have nothing to do with your position. Look at that editorial Rudy cited. The author mentioned a whole string of real problems that have just been allowed to fester for decades. Will Trump solve them? I don’t know, but that is because his primary opposition comes from people IN THIS COUNTRY, and that’s sad.
You say you don’t hate Trump? Then why the obsession? Where’s the beef?

Tom.. you and I have been down this road before. I know you like to think there needs to be some issue.. with the agenda; that there should be some dispute or debate on his policies. Have you not been keeping up with current events? The guy has told more lies to the American people than the Clintons both could ever have dreamed up, he’s brought down the dignity of the office, he’s embarrassed America around the world with his behavioral nonsense, he’s enhanced the nation’s divisiveness, he will NOT acknoweldge the Russians as being a clear and present danger to the security of the country, he’s starting trade wars as soon as the tariff’s take effect which is going to affect the people who voted for him, he rattles on and on to the press with lies and childish meanderings because he has NO command of language… he’s a buffoon.
Yet conservatives readily dismiss all that… even those who hold your same Christian morality and accept his poor moral behavior… because the end justifies the means. Christian nationalism.
He’s got the Mueller investigation looming on the horizon.. and campaign finance violations with the Stormy Daniels thing. It’s far more than just “style”, Tom. This guy has well exceeded anything the Clintons are alleged to have done.
This is my own reasons he should go (you’ve read this, I’m sure… for anyone else’s benefit)
