The distinctions are that you like and agree with BLM, but hate Trump and think he is evil.

  Well, that's one distinction, it's true. I agree and like Black Lives Matter because they have a valid point to make, and while it's unfortunate that there are fringe elements causing property damage and there have been instances of violence, that's not central to their mission and most people I know who support Black Lives Matter are against violence and property damage. I dislike Trump because he's corrupt, incompetent, racist, sexist, a sociopath, and an authoritarian. I feel like it's a valid position to be against those things. However, any politician on any end of the political spectrum can be all those things, so setting those aside, let's look at his actual policies: the only one I can think of is isolationism. I mean I'm mostly just repeating myself. Feel free to make a counterargument.

    > most people I know who support Black Lives Matter are against violence and property damage I take it "punch a Nazi" wasn't popular in your circle then? Btw: I think Trump is an incomptent, a populist and a con man. But he's no more racist and sexist than the average american.
