Hmm…
I can’t say Trump takes up too much of my headspace, but I can say that I really dislike just about everything I know about him. I think for a lot of people he represents, for lack of a less trite phrase, “much of what is wrong with the world.”
I mean, he certainly seems to be sexist and racist. (some trump supporters will argue that he’s not, but if you’re one of those people, our definitions of racism and sexism are so fundamentally different that an argument would be futile).
He also just inherited a lot of family money and threw it around until he had some success — I think your average person would have about the same level of success as he had, given that much money and family reputation. But then he attributes his success to his own doing, not to the advantages he had starting out.
He’s smug and superior and seems to lack empathy.

And he lies like mad. He seems to have no respect for the truth.

And he thinks nothing of inciting simple-minded people to anger, prejudice, and violence. He seems to revel in it.

And he seems to want to return to yesteryear, which wasn’t a good time for a lot of people.

So it’s bad enough someone like him exists, much worse when he becomes a world leader.

I mean, I just spent 5 min typing this response, and I’m sure it didn’t change your mind because all of that information is readily available. I don’t think Trump has ever raised my BP significantly — but I’ll be glad when he’s no longer playing an important role in my country’s politics. I just think he’s a jackass.
