1. I'd never give him that much power over me. Sure, I detest virtually everything he says and does.

BUT

2. I pity him more than anything else. He's a weak, stupid, frightened, incompetent man. He lashes out because of this. He's the weakest, most pitiful public figure in my life time.

(Don't hate, it's not worth the effort.)
