Here’s what I said in answer to Trump’s tweet awhile back, “[Why are people so mean](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/donald-trump-wants-to-know-why-are-people-so-mean-this-is-the-thread-to-tell-him/970625)”:

Because you were given the greatest opportunity that can be granted to any American: the chance to lead the nation into a better place. Only 44 other people in history have ever had this opportunity. And you used it to sow hatred, weaken our democracy, feed your pathetic ego and enrich your personal wealth.
