Many times, Kimmel likened what happened in America during the time of Trump to an abusive relationship in which deception was popularized as a leadership trait of the abuser. In addition to this, his criticism does not end only on political moves but also on personal life behaviors and relationships.

Trump’s Relationships Have Come Under Scrutiny

His stormy marriages are well-documented while there are many stories about him and members of his team not seeing eye-to-eye. Several people who worked closely with him later became critics arguing that he was the hard-headed boss who mistreats those close to him.

Trump’s Claim Of His ‘Best People’

One of the biggest claims made by Donald Trump during his presidency was that he had surrounded himself with “the best people.” However, this claim has been contradicted by numerous legal issues faced by his associates as well as high employee turnover rates within White House walls.

For instance, Michael Cohen- his attorney, and Paul Manafort-his campaign chairman were indicted or convicted hence raising questions about the kind of person Trump is and those he loves to hang around with. Such controversies have helped strengthen critics’ voices against Trump thus adding to his divisiveness.

The Republican Stand On Trump Seems To Be Changing

Trump’s place within the Republican party has been a subject of considerable debate amongst political analysts. Many in the GOP still support Trump but the same number of Republicans distance themselves from him.

Some prominent figures in GOP such as John Kasich have even refused to endorse him should he decide to run for president again. The fact that the Republican party still wants him while the USA cannot stand the 2024 race makes them two very different things.

Moreover, his characteristic poses during photo sessions were meant to demonstrate confidence and strength; however, they did partly define how he would be seen publicly throughout his term in office. Nonetheless, there have been scandals engulfing his otherwise perfect image including rumors about extramarital affairs or hate speeches.

Trump Faces 91 Charges In Four Different Cases
