Does Trump inspire hate from his followers?

Trump didn't make this video, some schmuck made it. 
Who's the biggest people faulting him for it? MSM and DINO.

I laugh when people make fun of Trump just as much as I laugh when he makes fun of others. It's all a dog and pony show. Even laughed when people made fun of W and Obama. That happens, nature of the business.

I don't think anyone is accusing Trump of making the video.

The outrage stems from the message and full on support and defense of it by Trumpsters.

This is less about "making fun" of politicians, which is done every night on talk shows by comedians in the US, than it is about Trump's style and the content of his policies. 

The curious double standard running through discussion of the video has implications beyond humor.Trump can lie all day long without losing support, while accusing the MSM of lying when it tells the plain truth about his words and deeds. Millions believe him when calls the press the "enemy of the people." That is what authoritarian leaders do to limit and distort the kind of information required for an informed electorate. Trump defenses are all about "hate" rather than determinable facts. Those who criticize Trump for exactly what people should criticize him for--vulgar behavior, using the office to enrich himself, getting hundreds of our allies killed--are just people who would "criticize him no matter what." That's like saying that when CNN fired kathy griffin for her beheaded Trump photograph, they would have fired her for anything.

As I have said before, you cannot defend Trump without lowering ethical standards nor support him without abandoning democratic norms.

If enough people agree with him that the MSM is fake news, then we are in a crisis of democracy. Enough of the electorate has simply separated its politics from factual and logical accountability to keep him in power and damaging US interests.   I can't sit back and laugh at that.
