My theory is because divided we fall. If the powers that shouldn't be want to destroy the nation and world, it's so much easier if they can convince the people to divide themselves and thus destroy themselves. Much easier than trying to convince people to "get on the train". Dividing us has turned out to be easy so they will keep it up.
IMHO, it is because he is one of them (as far as his worst traits of greed, narcissism, desire for power, and need for adulation) and that exposes all of them as having them too.
Which may be the best thing about his having been there. And the reason I voted for him as a big middle finger to them.
It's all political theatre; it's a sham. "They" give us the illusion that we have a 'side' to choose from, and that side will be on OUR side. It's not true. I've heard it said before; apparently, from people who live in D.C., that they have seen politicians who are on opposite sides of the aisle, fighting tooth-and-nail on TV, stirring up the constituents on both sides to also 'fight' against each other, only to see those same politicians; when out in public at say; a restaurant; yucking it up with each other; having a grand time together; only to see them the next day on TV; shouting and yelling at each other again. It's a show; we are the spectators; cheering for our team; not realizing that they are ALL on the SAME team. We've been duped; big time.
So, why does the swamp persecute him endlessly as no other American has been treated ever if he is one of their own?

There it is.
Tell the pitchfork people that the torch people want to burn their pitchforks, and the rulers are spared...
This!

You are right- they do so, because he is not one of them- definitely far from perfect, but not one of them.

You're right Cammie. The Left-Right paradigm is a sham.
Sad. It's not what the founding fathers wanted. It's what happens when we refuse to hold fast to what is right; and always long for 'something new'.
The old ways; many times (Not all of course) are usually the best.
