If someone even just mentions the name Donald Trump in your presence (in real life or online), regardless of the tone or why he was mentioned, do you immediately feel the compulsive need to butt in and say something negative about the man?
If someone mentions merely something that's commonly attributed to him and his presidency (for example the infamous tariffs), do you likewise feel the compulsive need to butt in and disparage the man (even if the original comment was not actually critical)?
Do you frequently start saying or writing negative comments about Trump even in conversations that had nothing to do with him? If the topic of conversation deals with negative traits in people in general, do you often feel the need to mention Trump (even if the conversation had absolutely nothing to do with politics)?
Do you readily and eagerly believe every single negative thing claimed about Trump without doing any fact-checking or corroboration that the claim is actually true? Do you immediately add that claim to your arsenal of negative things to say about the man, whenever the opportunity arises? Do you frequently repeat such negative claims about him, with zero checking of whether they are actually true or not?
Is there a single negative thing commonly attributed to Trump that you know or don't believe is actually true, or know or believe is greatly and maliciously exaggerated?
Even in the case that you do know of such a thing, would you ever willingly debunk someone making that false claim in your presence?
Even if you do object to the claim about him that someone is making in your presence, do you do it as lightly as possible, and immediately follow it with a huge "but" and a bunch of negative claims that you do believe are true? Are you unable to just debunk the claim and just leave it at that? (Do you have the strong feeling that if you did that, it would perhaps give the wrong impression about yourself to others, ie. make them believe that you are actually a Trump supporter?)
Do you immediately and instinctively reject and doubt any positive claims about Trump, with zero corroboration whether the claim is true or not? Or, at a very minimum, immediately dismiss the claim as irrelevant, inconsequential and to be ignored?
Do you know a single positive thing about Donald Trump?
Even if you do, do you refuse to state it to others, either because you don't want to acknowledge there being anything positive about him, and/or because you fear that it may give others the wrong impression about you (ie. they will believe that you are Trump supporter)?
Even if you were to state the positive thing, or acknowledge a positive claim about him made by someone else, do you feel compelled to immediately follow it with a big "but", followed by several negative things about him (lest you may give the impression that you are a Trump supporter)?
If someone expresses a positive opinion about Trump that's subjective (such as "he's a really cool guy" or similar), do you feel the extremely strong compulsion to react to it aggressively, either verbally, or perhaps even physically? Would you feel extremely agitated by such an opinion, and be completely incapable of just staying quiet and say nothing?
Would you celebrate it and rejoice if something very negative happened to Trump? Do you constantly wish and hope that that would happen? Would you feel zero empathy for the man, if something very negative happened to him?
