This is what bothers people the most about Donald Trump
Donald Trump has offended hoards of people with his words and actions, but what one thing has he done that bothers people the most? A Bloomberg poll might have found the answer — and if you've seen some of the Democrats' attack ads, you might not be surprised.
"Trump's criticism of a reporter that was seen as mocking the reporter's physical disability" bothered 62 percent of respondents "a lot," with only 15 percent saying it bothered them "not at all." By comparison, "Trump's criticism of a fallen soldier's Muslim parents after they spoke at the Democratic National Convention" bothered 56 percent of people a lot, and "Trump's praise for Russian President Vladimir Putin" was the least concerning to respondents, bothering only 42 percent of people a lot, compared to 27 percent it bothered not at all.
