Most Trump haters do not really hate Donald Trump and his policies; what they hate and have hated are their mistaken perceptions of President Trump perpetuated by most of the members of the media, the distortions of his personality, the distortions of his policies, and now the distortions of the communications of Trump's representatives with certain Russian individuals.
Even if President Trump's representatives met with Russian individuals who claim not to have represented the government of Russia and even if Trump’s representatives met with Russian individuals who formerly had positions in the government of Russia and even if Donald Trump's representatives were told to expect to hear information that would have presented Hillary Clinton in a negative light, none of this would mean these Russians actually represented the Russian government, nor would it mean the Trump representatives made any commitments to work in concert with the Russians or to collude with the Russian government in any way.
