People hate Donald Trump more than Nickelback

by Richard Howard

Donald Trump is a tool. And no, I haven’t lost my objectivity. Because objectively, he’s a tool. And yet, dude is the presumptive Republican nominee for the White House. In addition to raising the question of whether America has prematurely devolved into a real-life Idiocracy, it makes you wonder whether the perceived widespread dislike for him is even real.

Well, thanks to a new poll, you can rest your pretty little head peacefully tonight. Conducted by Public Policy Polling, the survey confirms that a large chunk of the American populace recognizes Trump’s tool-dom, with 61% of respondents voicing an unfavourable opinion of The Donald.

But just how deeply does this dislike run? Well, from my Facebook feed I would have guessed it was neck and neck, but nope: turns out that Donald Trump is more disliked than music’s favourite whipping boys, Nickelback.

Now, try to remember this is the band so despised that the actual Australian police once accused them of “crimes against music” and they once inspired an app that would play their music to prevent you from contacting your ex.

But it doesn’t stop there. Lice, root canals, traffic jams, and hipsters were all viewed more favourably than the United States’ most terrifying potential president to date. The only two things that lost to Trump? Hemorrhoids and cockroaches. America, if you vote in a guy only slightly more likeable than swollen butthole veins, don’t come crying to us. Peep the proof below.
