I disagree that there is no basis in reality. HE has made it clear, by his actions and rhetoric, where he falls on the friend/enemy scale. Who started it is moot at this point. We are on opposite teams, by his choice as much as ours.
He has stolen billions of dollars of foreign company ownership. Rightly or wrongly (I will admit there is some basis to the complaints against those companies), the way he did it is anathema to the "American Way". His anti-media laws are not compatible with the idea of freedom of the press (or freedom) He is an avowed Socialist and Marxist. We don't like them good. Plus, he attempted to overthrow his government by organizing a military coup. Is he as bad as some of our "friends"? No. Is he a good guy in my eyes? No. Is he potentially dangerous to his neighbors? Yeah, I think so.
