People hate Trump because he is a disrupter, at the highest level. I worked in corporate for many years and almost all successful corporations have gone through major disruptions at some point. No, the Federal government is not a corporation, but it has grown fat and lazy and sorely in need or re-inventing. Many people hate change, and therefore hate Trump, but without it I think our government was in a slow death spiral. Yes, the cure may be painful in the short-term, but better to get it out of the way now.
