Trump isn't the issue. You are. They can't stand people who aren't perfectly packaged into their little political boxes.

Just as Trump himself said: "I'm just in their way."
“They didn’t hate Trump until he ran as a Republican.”
And yet most establishment republicans also hate him, so that ain’t it.
No, they hate Trump because he’s the first president in a long time who isn’t explicitly and virulently anti-white. As a business man, he represents productive people first and foremost, and that category includes a lot of working and middle class white people. The left are communist and anti-white, so they despise his voter base on a metaphysical level. And the republicans aren’t much better; most of them hate the common man, populism, nationalism, etc. They relish in civic nationalism to the point of cultural suicide (or homicide, depending on hat size).
When they hate Trump and love Cheney, obviously it's not "being a Republican" that's the issue.
The hate him for dragging the Overton window far enough back that people are speaking positively about nationalism.
