Trump takes time out of his day to specifically say he hates you and wishes to do you harm? That sounds really scary, random HN user.

No, his hatred is quite general, directed at various groups which I belong to some of. One time I remember well, for example, is when he posted a video of himself dumping poo on No Kings protesters (https://www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcna238521). If a friend or relative responded to some political dispute with a video of them pooping on me, I’d be pretty scared.
If your biggest fear is that Trump is going to come and poop on you, you are very well protected and safe! And any stress you have is totally self inflicted.
My biggest fear is that the kind of insane person who threatens to poop on me might do other, much worse things. It's not likely to ever happen, but doing what I can to stand against Trump seems like an effective way to minimize the risk. I celebrate when he fails, I'll celebrate when he croaks, and I hope that dancing on his grave one day will help future political movements learn what you and your favorite dictator-in-chief couldn't.
Main character syndrome.
I feel like you’ve learned a strange, distorted version of the concept of “main character syndrome”. There’s a number of main characters who the Trump administration has gone out of their way to immiserate, and it’s entirely reasonable for fear that you might be next to motivate your politics. Trump doesn’t care about me personally yet, and presenting as many obstacles as possible to the causes he cares about will help keep it that way.
