It might be a neat way of putting distance between myself and the President, but it ISN'T why I say it. I say it because I think Donald Trump is crude, impolite and crass. Then, I think George W. Bush is a well-mannered, likable and classy guy who would be great fun to be around. This doesn't change my opinions that Donald Trump may be the greatest President the United States has ever had and that George W. Bush should be hanging from a tree. The qualities I look for in a President are not the qualities I look for in a friend.

As a voter who lives far away from the Beltway bubble, I increasingly find myself harboring an uncomfortable secret: I like Donald Trump, and think he's the perfect president for these times.

Now, I know that's a big no-no. In fact, I probably should keep it to myself. After all, the mainstream media has been working non-stop to make me and countless others hate the president and see him as Public Enemy No. 1.

I'm also decidedly not the kind of voter who is supposed to like Trump; in fact, all my intersecting identities are supposed to hate Trump with a vengeance: I'm a woman, a legal immigrant, a person of color (never liked the term), a former Democrat, and a third-party voter in 2016.

Liking Trump openly is very difficult these days, and it is not recommended that you do so. It's especially difficult in the social circles I move in.

If you've noticed, even some Trump voters and Trump-supporting commentators say things like, "I don't like Trump, but I like his policies," or "He has flaws, but ..." which is a neat way of putting distance between oneself and the president.

Enumerating the reasons Trump is alright is especially necessary because of the constant vituperation he faces everyday from different liberal quarters. Here are 10 reasons I like Trump. ...
