      He claims to hate the same people they hate. He was a Democrat until he decided to run as a Republican.

      “In many cases, I probably identify more as Democrat,” Trump told CNN’s Wolf Blitzer in a 2004 interview. “It just seems that the economy does better under the Democrats than the Republicans. Now, it shouldn’t be that way. But if you go back, I mean it just seems that the economy does better under the Democrats.” - Donald Trump

      Whether or not he really hates them is anyone’s guess. Personally, I think that after his foray in birther-land, he realized that Republican voters would like it if he dropped the mask and let his racism shine through. Now he just spews hate at anyone right wing voters hate and they lap it up.

        I don’t doubt that his hate is genuine. He’s subject to the same brain rot as every other boomer who spends all day parked in front of Fox News.
