Aside from Trump being a despicable person, what problems do people have with his underlying policy objectives. I can’t seem to have conversations with people without them quoting some CNN hit piece

Significantly increasing the national debt and deficit during an economic expansion, bullying and reducing the independence of the fed, public attacks on journalism and media independence, failure to staff the department of energy which handles all major nuclear risks in this country, privatising the VA while pretending to care about the military, undermining our alliances in southeast Asia and thereby giving China increasing influence, allowing north Korea to do whatever they want so long as they tell Trump he's smart and blantantly violating the human rights of immigrants, telling government departments that they cannot use the term climate change in any report. This is off the top of my head.

Trump is setting himself up to look really great and completely screw the country in the long run.

I’m not going to have an argument about 2027. Again that taking point is disingenuous, but I do appreciate your acknowledgment that the GOP will win back control of the Congress in that time frame. Not going to refute that.

And one more thing. His approach on inciting war with Iran is from a lack of foreign policy. He excused himself from 'Nam over bone spurs and is a coward and has no clue what an armed conflict means. He is willing to risk American soldiers' lives while none of his sons have even wore a uniform (even in peacetime) and to top it all he belittles war heroes and gold star families.

Weakening environmental regulations and allowing reintroduction of previously banned harmful pollution.

Using a too-blunt instrument in deregulation. Instead of a thoughtful review of regulations that don’t work or are overly onerous and scrapping those, he just made a blanket rule that said any time you want a new regulation, you have to kill two existing ones. There is no rationale for what gets scrapped, other than one of his staffers tells him they don’t like it.

OP - A counter question. Would you elect a black candidate if (s)he was as despicable as Trump and insulted McCain, a gold star family, circumvented 'Nam for bone spurs and called everybody who did not like his position as as loser. Assume (s)he implemented greatest policies ever and even gave you an additional 10% tax cut on top of what Republicans paased.

I can’t stand that he has helped lower the unemployment for blacks and Hispanics to all time lows. I don’t like that Israel loves him for his defense of the their right to exist. I detest that he has nominated judges that are a clear path to potentially saving unborn human beings from being dismembered and suctioned from the womb. And I lose sleep knowing he has exposed the msms propaganda echo chamber control of public opinion.
