Yeah, the Trump criticisms here are intellectually offensive.
1. Mostly, it's something absurd, or something nobody cares about (a recent criticism here: "Trump didn't make as much money as Bill Gates").
2. Commonly, it's ad Hitlerum fallacious propaganda. ("Trump is a NAZI/fascist".)
3. Mostly, the critic fails to provide an explanation, or evidence.
4. Links to biased web sites are common.
5. IMO substantive criticisms are never talked about, because Trump critics appear to be merely parroting propaganda.
6. Trump critics rarely (never) discuss positives, so the critic appears biased.
7. Trump critics promote fallacious reasoning, "Trump is a narcissist" therefore .... ". Therefore what? Maybe a "narcissist" is a positive. Take a college class in psychology and learn that there are positive/negative personality traits with all personality types.
8. Mostly critics appear to only understand their criticisms in a superficial way, so they give off a "orange man bad" vibe.
9. It all comes across as silly, goofy, unintellectual, so yes, intellectually offensive.
This is just gaslighting, which Trump himself does a lot. Yes, we are all hysterical and crazy and intellectually challenged because we don't like Trump, all the world is insane except the people who see Trump's genius. Next you'll be describing the beauty of the emperor's new clothes to us.
