How could any American ask that question
My American friends and family out there have just the same opinion as I do
Barking, dangerous, arrogant, sexist, racist, shall I keep going I m sue I can think of many more reasons

Because we're not taken in by his lies, exaggerations, tantrums and posturing.

Well he's every 'ist' you can mention.

Do Americans get this excited when we have our elections?

Don’t forget it is going to have a direct affect on the U.K.

Its only because of the sheer odiousness of Trump

Because he's Dagenham Donald (close to barking) he thinks he's the best thing in the world, behaves like a spoilt child, kept a lady in her nineties waiting for over 15 minutes, is totally fake in appearance (hair and tan) has said some truly awful things about his attitude to women.....................

Either way I couldn’t really say. He certainly is not gifted with the gab like the previous President. I did read that Trump does not take a salary which he donates to good causes whereas the previous President came out a extremely rich man due to the very good speeches he gave out. Obama came across as very charismatic but whether his intentions were better I wouldn’t know.

I didn't have an opinion one way or the other until I read that he suggested grabbing women "by the pussy" I went off him a bit then.

He’s Marmite - bit like most politicians!

Because he isn't likeable.

That's the overall gist anyway.

For the same reasons that the majority of the people of the US dislike him so much.

Nothing to add that hasn't been said a million times!

I have received an enquiry from America asking me to explain why we Brits dislike Trump so much.
I have a list, quite a long list, but wondered if any gransnetters might like to add to it today.
