It's been pretty easy to hate him since that whole bit with the kids stuck in a cave and him calling the hero "pedo guy".

Then there's the long list of lies, like the predictions around self driving [0] and going to Mars [1].

And then you get to his decision to enter the political realm, take a chainsaw to government agencies without care or reason as to how they operate or what they actually do, and use his influence to self-deal.

He's a corrupt asshole. If he did these same things under a different party affiliation, he'd still be a corrupt asshole.
