"Russiagate" is the nickname (based on Watergate) for the political scandal that happened when the Deep State tried to make the public convinced that Trump has colluded with Russia to win 2016. We are still in the midst of that, because there is still a special investigator that has indicted some people for perpetrating the hoax.

Now, Obama was a very charismatic figure. Like Trump. They both inspired people and had a massive following. They both over promised and under delivered. Obama was a lame duck by 2010 when his party lost the House and reduced to a "pen and phone" presidency by 2014 when his party lost the Senate. He was, despite "winning" reelection in 2012, a president with prestige but no real power. Trump undid virtually all of his executive orders day one. Obama-drones, like Trumpists, were heartbroken when Hillary wasn't Obama's 3rd term and they came to realize how much they had been let down.

Trump promised a wall, he promised deportations, he promised an end to American troops overseas. He promised a lot. When his party lost control of Congress in 2018, he was, like Obama, a pen and phone president. Now, he delivered on some things, and failed with others. But where he failed became pretty transparent after the election was stolen from him and the wall had yet to be finished. Trumpists felt quite let down. I was, I know, and I only grudgingly voted for the man.

This disappointment leads to resentment. I believe that's partially why people here shit on him so much.
