Underlying reason why I can't stand Trump. [View all]

I finally put my finger on it.

As if his ignorant bigotry wasn't enuff, I just realized he's a product of the 80s.

JMHO but the 80s sucked. Plastic fantastic, Reagan, cheesy music and fashion. Just say no, New wave, no wave, cocaine and shitty cars,designer jeans...and Donald Trump.

Now I know some here look back at the 80s with fond memories and that was the era they identify with. For me it was the 70s and the 90s.

To me Donald Trump is the icon of the decade I despise....just hit me like a ton of bricks.
