Where My Hatred for Trump Comes From (And Why It’s Not “Politics”)

People keep asking me why I hate Donald Trump.

They want a simple answer.

They want the usual label:
“Oh, you’re left.”
“Oh, you’re right.”
“Oh, you’re brainwashed.”
“Oh, you watched too much TV.”

No.

My hatred doesn’t come from ideology.

It comes from something far more basic:

I’ve seen what happens when a society starts worshipping the wrong man.

I’ve seen what happens when a crowd becomes a cult.

And I’ve seen what happens when power stops being accountable.

So no — my hatred didn’t start with hate.

It ended with hate.

1) 1990: Romania Was Finally Crawling Out of Hell

In 1990, Romania was stepping out of a system that didn’t just restrict you.
It crushed you.
Communism wasn’t some abstract political debate.
It was:

• shortages
• humiliation
• fear
• frustration
• no freedom of speech
• no access to Western culture
• no modern life
• no dignity

There was no “opinion” in Romania back then.

There was only what you were allowed to say.

So when the West started appearing in front of us, it felt like entering another universe.

And when you come from a place like that, Western success doesn’t look like “money”.

It looks like freedom.

2) My First “Western Symbol”: Trump Opens Taj Mahal

One of the first Western things I remember seeing was:

“Trump opens the Taj Mahal.”

And to a 16-year-old kid in Romania, it was mesmerizing.

Not because I cared about casinos.

But because it looked like pure Western power:

• confidence
• boldness
• luxury
• dominance
• “anything is possible”

So yes, I did what many young people do when they meet a myth for the first time:

I fell for it.

I started reading The Art of the Deal.
And I truly believed this man was a God of success.

Not a politician.
Not a leader.

A symbol.

3) The Spell Broke… Slowly

Over time, reality did what reality always does:

It arrives.

I started seeing him more clearly:

• the ego
• the obsession with attention
• the addiction to being worshipped
• the constant need to be in front of a camera
• the “tough guy” theatre

Even The Apprentice didn’t make me angry.

It made me laugh.

Because the whole thing was basically a performance:

“Look at me. I’m strong. I’m ruthless. I’m the boss.”

Except it wasn’t strength.

It was television strength.

It was “confidence” for weak minds.

Then came the beauty pageants, the scandals, the endless need to be the center of everything.

Still… no hate.

Just amusement.

He was a clown.

A rich clown, but still a clown.

4) The First Presidency: The Moment America Embarrassed Itself

Then he became president.

And I remember thinking:

How can Americans be this stupid?

This wasn’t a normal mistake.

This was the world’s most powerful nation turning the presidency into a reality show.

And yes, I laughed.

I laughed at the absurdity of it.

But I still didn’t feel visceral hatred.

Why?

Because I assumed the system would contain him.

I assumed grown adults would stop the madness.

I assumed institutions would work.

I assumed democracy had immune systems.

5) The Second Term: The Joke Died

Then came the second term.

And that’s when the vibe changed completely.

Because now it wasn’t a clown running around the palace.

It started looking like the palace itself was being redesigned around him:

• loyalty over law
• spectacle over substance
• noise over truth
• intimidation over debate
• money over values
• punishment for critics
• reward for fanatics

The joke wasn’t funny anymore.

It was dangerous.

6) The Meme Coin “Declick”: The Exact Moment I Started to Truly Hate Him

And now we get to the real turning point.

The “declick” moment.

The moment the last bit of “maybe I’m exaggerating” died inside me.

Two days before inauguration, he launches a meme-coin cash grab.

Let that sink in.

Two days before taking the most powerful office on Earth — at a moment where a normal leader would be thinking about responsibility, stability, unity, or at least basic dignity…

He launches a get-rich-quick hype scheme.

And who is the target?

Not Wall Street.
Not billionaires.
Not “the elites.”

His own supporters.

His own voters.

The people who love him.

The people who defend him like a religion.

That is not business.

That is not strategy.

That is not “capitalism.”

That is a scam wrapped in a flag.

It’s spitting in the face of your own people and calling it “winning.”

And that’s when I understood something very clearly:

This man doesn’t lead his supporters.
He farms them.

He doesn’t respect them.
He doesn’t protect them.
He monetizes them.

He treats human loyalty like a credit card.

That was the moment I stopped being amused.

That was the moment disgust turned into hatred.

Because when a man is willing to steal from his own believers, it means he has no bottom.

No shame.

No limit.

7) The ICE “Immunity” Feeling: When Power Stops Being Accountable (And People Start Dying)

And then we reach the part that triggers something deeper in me.

Because once you’ve lived through systems where:

• the state is above accountability
• enforcement becomes untouchable
• consequences disappear
• the public is told to shut up and accept it

…you never forget that smell.

You recognize it immediately.

You can call it “security.”

You can call it “order.”

But when you start hearing the message:

“They can do whatever they want.”

That’s not democracy.

That’s the beginning of something rotten.

And if anyone thinks I’m exaggerating… look at what happened with Renee Nicole Good.

A woman was shot and killed by an ICE agent, and the controversy that followed wasn’t only about what happened in that moment.

It was about what came after:

• the way the system protected itself
• the way accountability became optional
• the way “investigation” suddenly sounded like an inconvenience
• the way human life became a political inconvenience

And to someone like me — someone who grew up under authoritarian shadows — this is where alarm bells start screaming.

Because when enforcement becomes untouchable…

When accountability becomes optional…

People don’t feel safer.

They feel trapped.

And once a society normalizes that, it doesn’t heal easily.

8) This Isn’t Politics for Me — It’s Memory

This is where some people get offended:

They want my hatred to be “just politics,” because that makes it easy to dismiss.

But it’s not politics.

It’s memory.

I grew up in a country where:

• you couldn’t speak freely
• you couldn’t criticize leadership
• you couldn’t live honestly
• fear was built into daily life

So when I see people romanticizing a strongman…

When I see crowds cheering for humiliation and cruelty…

When I see the worship of arrogance as “power”…

I don’t see patriotism.

I see a society walking backward.

And the sick irony is this:

Trump was one of the first Western success symbols I ever saw as a teenager.

I admired him before I understood him.

So the disappointment isn’t mild.

It’s personal.

Final Thought: I Didn’t Start as His Enemy

I didn’t start here.

I started as a 16-year-old who looked at Trump and thought:

This is what the free world looks like.

But as I grew up, I realized something brutal:

This man doesn’t represent freedom.

He represents ego.

He represents addiction to attention.

He represents manipulation.

He represents the worst kind of capitalism — the kind that doesn’t create value, it just extracts loyalty and converts it into cash.

And once the meme-coin moment happened, the mask fell completely.

From that point on, everything he did only confirmed it.

Everything.

So yes — I hate him.

Not because I’m “told to.”

But because I watched the full transformation:

admiration → amusement → disbelief → disgust → hatred.

And because I know where this road leads if people keep applauding it.
