These are all your opinions so you could have simply answered "No, I will not accept him if he is exonerated because I don't like him as a person. # Not my President"

I will agree that he bring problems upon himself. It all started when he won the GE and made the left very, very mad.

What you call "opinions" are actually reasons based upon Trump's actions.

And because I support my positions with reasons, that is why I did not just say "No, I will not accept him if he is exonerated." 

If I just say "I don't like him as a person," that spins away all the very solid reasons for not wanting an incompetent, unethical person to be president.  And Trumpsters get to think this is all about 'pinions and everyone's got one haters will hate and it would be the same if competent Hillary were elected and Obama made just as many mistakes as Trump etc.

"He won the GE and made the left very, very mad" is a similar oversimplification, which separates causes from effects.  Rather like reducing Trump's security breach to "Trump told Russia a secret."

Oversimplification appears to be your primary tactic.Trumpsters like, anti-Trumpsters see that, along with false equivalence, as the basis of TrumpWorld. Anti-Trumpsters like giving reasons based on steadily increasing information about current politics; Trumpsters see that as the basis of "establishment" thinking.

Oversimplification appears to be at the root of many of Trump's blunders as well.  "We are both fighting ISIS, sowhy not share that cool intel we promised the Israelis we would share with no one so as not to compromise their asset in ISIS!"
