Criticism can and does exist, post-election. HOWEVER, it doesn't, ever, reach the pitch that the American Left have been foisting in Trump's direction, ever since he became President ! Equally .. the attacks launched on Trump, pre-election, have no equivalent in British politics I've ever been aware of. This last election of yours leaves the impression that American politics can be a far dirtier business than our own.
Trust me, your Left does itself no favours abroad, when it shows itself capable of such vitriol.
That said ... on my side of the Pond, too, anti-Trump sentiment seems unprecedented for any properly elected Leader ! My, how the Left hate Trump !! My impression is that your Left actually believe you have a right to DICTATE a win for yourselves, whenever you require it.
I hold a simple view. Trump was elected. He was elected because promises he gave, your general Public voted to see him work to achieve. So, on what decent basis do your lot work so very hard to prevent him from succeeding ?? Don't you CARE about the democratic Will of the People in your country ??
Because if that's the case -- then the Left is simply unfit to be an part of your democratic processes, until such time as they show the electorate due deference to THEIR wishes !!
