“Why do some British people not like Donald Trump?” Nate White, an articulate and witty writer from England wrote the following response:
A few things spring to mind. Trump lacks certain qualities which the British traditionally esteem. For instance, he has no class, no charm, no coolness, no credibility, no compassion, no wit, no warmth, no wisdom, no subtlety, no sensitivity, no self-awareness, no humility, no honour and no grace – all qualities, funnily enough, with which his predecessor Mr. Obama was generously blessed. So for us, the stark contrast does rather throw Trump’s limitations into embarrassingly sharp relief.

Dig my eyeballs out with a Mellon spoon. This image will haunt me forever. Looks like he is awaiting Ivanka’s arrival for a Private picnic with daddy. Or maybe, a shirtless Putin riding up on a horse with opponents heads in a duffel bag.

That litany of deficiencies describes his deplorable followers to a fare-thee-well.

His cult members, having that same lack of wholesome qualities, see themselves reflected in him as they gaze adoringly and unthinkingly from their trance-like fealty to a mirror being held up to them.

They are not voting for Trump, essentially, they are voting for themselves as they are and their incapacity to process that makes them the easiest of marks for a career confidence man.
