Not at all offended though I think your quest is a little bit pointless - look at his approval ratings to judge what americans think of him. I am no fan of Trump though as a non american my opinons dont matter.

As well as TM, I haunt the sailing forums of YBW where even despite the best efforts of the mods, there has been a deterioration into personal abuse, bigotry and any number of "isms" with the discussions of brexit and trump/boris. Being mostly comfortably off educated middle class posters the tenor is anti Trump, anti Boris and overwhelmingly anti Brexit but its become difficult to avoid the politics even on the bits that are supposed to be "boats only". Its a slippy slope. And like the discussion of politics or religion at a dinner party, it doesnt always lead to happy results.

OK its a personal view but to me TM is a beacon of pleasantness and civility so I would hate for politics to creep in under the door.
