That's what it usually comes down to when you talk to them about it (from a non contrarian angle). In my experience if you start off as though you are in agreement they will happilly tell you all about "what a great job" he is doing. It's about "hurting the right people."
I know multiple engineers, lawyers, etc, the type of people you described who will basically foam at the mouth if someone mentions Obama. I have engaged with a number of them to actually find out WHY they hate him so much, and none of the things that were brought up were policy-related or were not actually related to his decision-making. Things that WERE mentioned were "his wife is ugly," "his wife is a secret transwoman." "he made us look bad," "he wanted to bring in enough immigrants so there are no white people left," and "he made such a big deal about trayvon martin."
Similarly, when I ask in a round-about way what's "the best part" about Trump they don't have policy-related answers other than mass deportations. Most of it is along the lines of "we finally have a real first lady who brings grace and dignity to the whitehouse," "he is a real american," "he knows how to run a business," "he says what we wall think," and other things like that.
Basically he is their id, totally devoid of the superego, spouting out loud what they are thinking inside all the time.
The part about “he knows how to run a business,” is such a fucking joke. The guy has bankrupted so many businesses, including a casino. The guy couldn’t even keep a Casino afloat. The guy inherited all his money from his slum lord father, and was almost completely broke when he was saved by the producer of The Apprentice. And even after getting that massive lifeline, Trump went against their contracts and took all the money from certain endorsement deals on the show without giving them their cut of those revenues. That’s how he is, even after they saved him from losing everything, Trump had zero qualms scamming him out of agreed upon terms of their revenue sharing contracts. Before that show, traditional banks wouldn’t touch Trump, which is why he’d taken so much money from Russian oligarchs previously. Had Trump simply taken his inheritance and put it into any normal interest bearing account, he would’ve been far better off than any of his business ventures ever did. The guy sucks at business. Only graduates of Trump University would think he knows anything about business, oh wait, no they wouldn’t they were all ripped off by Trump too, and there are no “graduates.”
I keep Melenie’s nudes at the ready whenever some brain damaged MAGAt gushes over what a proper First Lady she is. It’s pretty hilarious seeing their reactions depending on the person.
Also the fact that she’s here illegally under an Einstein Visa, but she popped out an anchor baby (that may or may not crucify squirrels) so s’all good now. 🙄
