Not everyone who loathes Donald Trump is weighing in on approval polls, yet the hate is still being documented.
The president has a record of vexing voters, rival politicians, officials who dare challenge him, and more.
Not even family members have spared the 80-year-old’s ego a bruising.
The image of the first family has been a hallmark of presidencies, but Trump can’t seem to keep any of his loved ones around.
His adult children — Don Jr., Ivanka, Eric, Tiffany, and Barron Trump — have their own lives, running businesses, raising families, and balancing social lives and college.
They show up for grandiose events like inaugurations but have otherwise been scarce.
Trump’s wife, Melania Trump, has also distanced herself from the Republican despite playing a major role in both of his presidencies.
Last month, Melania skipped his trip to Ireland, although Trump tried to spin her absence during a Dublin event. “My wife is here in spirit,” he told business leaders.
He admitted he extended an invitation, but she didn’t want to play nice with him or other dignitaries.
Her cold shoulder, refusal to hold Trump’s hand in public, and stern expressions and steely glances at him fuel rumors of marital turmoil.
Former White House communications chief Anthony Scaramucci says Melania undeniably hates the man, and she is not alone in feeling that way.
“I spent 11 faithful days in that administration,” said Scaramucci, recounting his brief stint in Trump’s first administration while appearing on “How to Fail with Elizabeth Day.”
He said taking the gig nearly shattered his marriage to Deidre Scaramucci. “I always tease and say she hates him almost as much as Melania hates him because that’s like the [ceiling],” he explained.
Most critics agree with Scaramucci’s take on Melania the president, given that rumors of marital trouble have persisted for years.
At a rally in Arizona Wednesday night, Trump told the crowd, “My wife says, you shouldn’t be dancing on the stage. You should walk off with a gentle wave. Goodbye.”
Trump has repeated that story several times this week alone, about the dance to his walk-out song, “Y.M.C.A.” by the Village People. He claims Melania told him, ‘You should not dance off the stage, my darling.'”
“Does anyone actually believe “Melanie” calls him “darling?” asked one social media user. Another said, “Oh boy … this is getting insane.”
As soon as the first lady’s name came up, Scaramucci named another contender for who hates Trump most.
“Actually, I think I found one person that hates Trump more than Melania; that’s like Mark Milley. General Milley hates Trump more than Melania.”
Milley served as Trump’s chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff from 2018 to 2021. The military general has been openly critical of the U.S. leader, including referring to him as a “wannabe dictator.”
During an appearance on “Fox & Friends” last month, Melania confessed that Trump is rarely present for family time.
She shared, “He works nonstop. He has the most energy than anybody. He’s from morning until evening nonstop working.”
Political commentator David Pakman critiqued the first lady’s candor.
He said she is “very independent from Donald Trump” and there is “reason to believe she’s completely estranged.” Furthermore, Pakman argued, “It seems as though they are mostly living separately.”
Melania generated buzz in January when her self-titled documentary debuted.
Trump bragged that his wife had “the number one movie of the year.” He then undercut her moment by insisting there could be only one star in the family—him.
However, his backhanded compliments have become common occurrences.
Elsewhere in the interview, Scaramucci noted Trump’s “bully game” to intimidate people he viewed as a threat to his image.
He also stated, “If you think you’re Donald Trump’s friend, you really have no self-awareness, ’cause he’s a transactional person. You’re not his friend. The minute that he thinks he doesn’t need you, he’ll run you over with a car. He’s like a Tony Soprano that way.”
