Liberals hate Trump because he's so much better than them

Howie Carr suggests Democrats compile a Greatest Hits of their fantasies for getting rid of President Trump, among which we might find:

Jill Stein's recount (before Hillary was accused of being a Russian asset), faithless electors, emoluments clause, the 25th Amendment, Hillary's fake dossier, the Russian hoax, firing crooked James Comey, senile Bob Mueller and his 19 angry Democrats, Michael Cohen, Michael Avenatti (pre-indictments), Stormy Daniels, Brett Kavanaugh frame-up, tax returns, loans guaranteed by Russian oligarchs[.] ...

And now, the Ukraine hoax.

What are [Trump's] high crimes and misdemeanors? Record high numbers of Americans working, the stock market at record highs. Favorable trade deals, ISIS destroyed, millions off welfare and food stamps.

They used to love Donald Trump, back when they could attribute his success to Daddy plus corruption.  They're accustomed to guys getting to be high rollers for those reasons.  But on his way to the presidency they realized, to their horror, that Trump's basically a smart, honest man who figured out how to navigate a corrupt system.  Liberal politicians are suspicious of anyone who isn't vulnerable to being bought off, blackmailed, or intimidated, and Trump was invulnerable to all three.

A number of factors came together in Trump to build his fortune: ability, intelligence, work ethic, guts, confidence, education.  As a younger man, he was also quite handsome, which, whether we like it or not, does help.  His dad's name helped him get started, and field experience with his dad from early ages familiarized him with the nuts and bolts of his future career.

Beyond these were what he did with them.  There were three keys: first was to do good work.  He made billions because he delivered excellent, beautiful buildings on budget and on time.  Nobody else could match him.  He subcontracted based on excellence rather than politics.  Second, he avoided public ownership of his organization so that he never had to deal with boards of directors but could make all decisions himself.  That gave him the huge advantage of speedy decision-making that publicly owned outfits couldn't match.  Third, he supervised all work personally and often.  Workers knew him by first name, and he knew their first names.  Camaraderie developed.  His work sites were enjoyable places to visit because of the high morale that resulted.

This just isn't the way liberals do things, partly because they're too lazy to work so hard but also, one suspects, because their confidence fails at key junctures.  Seeking safety in numbers, they play the politics and network themselves into positions where they can command abler people.  This is straight out of Atlas Shrugged, but where Ayn Rand attributed it to moral failure, I think it's more often due to lack of confidence or courage — psychology as much as morality.

This also underlies the visceral hatred the Left has for the president.  Leftists envy his confidence, which spills over into everything else they hate about him: a gorgeous wife; successful, good-looking kids; no self-doubt; no fear of confrontation; the guts to change course on a dime when something isn't working as it should.  Donald Trump deals in bottom lines.  If you aren't adult enough to handle cutting to the point and calling things by their right names, you won't last long under him, and you certainly won't like being around him.

And there's the real rub: liberals in high places know that Donald Trump is superior to them by any measure that matters in the real world.  So they veer off into the surreal, where they can literally make things up to slow or stop him.  Slightly dimming his star might make their pathetic LED light look a little brighter — not make it brighter, but make it look brighter.  With their narcissism, they see everything in black-and-white, zero-sum, win-lose terms, such that if he's better, they are necessarily lesser.

AT observers have noted before that Washington has become like high school with its gossip and backstabbing.  It's always been that way, but with noticeably more heat and venom since the advent of Donald Trump.  His very excellence excites hatred among the second-rate.  And nothing describes the Democrat impeachment squad better than "second-rate."
