Trump is not merely petty, mean-spirited, and corrupt. He's evil.

[ArtTownsend]

As evil as any human being can be, I’d argue.

This is moral clarity. We have an evil figure with unbridled power, supported by disgusting career-saving cowards and fanatical cultists. Call it what it is: evil.

I’m not afraid to name it.

[ooky]

1. It's that obvious too. nt

[Skittles]

2. I have ZERO doubt

that if Trump could have his critics detained, tortured, killed, HE WOULD

NO DOUBT AT ALL

[Maru Kitteh]

3. I'm afraid he would enjoy that title, see it as proof he was "tough." I'd love to see

someone hit him the way Obama did at the Correspondents dinner. I don't think he was ever as humiliated and furious in his entire life as he was that night. That is his hell.

[lunatica]

4. If there s true evil in this world he's it

I think his kind of evil can’t exist without other evil people. He’s just a focal point for the evil of Putin, Mitch, Barr, Steven Miller, et al. He contaminates people around him so their small evil becomes big evil.

He cannot function by himself.

5. He is the embodiment of Wetiko.

And the virus is spreading.

6. Evil is an overused word

Petty, mean-spirited, corrupt - yes, they all describe Trump, as do the words vindictive, hypocritical, cruel, nasty and uninformed.

My objection to the word 'evil' is that it is lazy. To me, it also has religious, apocalyptic associations but that may just be my opinion. 'Evil', as a word, is a thought terminating cliche. Nothing is worse. End of discussion.

I would prefer folk to stretch their imaginations, consult their dictionaries and worry less about being liked on the internet but be more incisive, personal and well-aimed in their descriptions of the monstrosity in the White House.

Remember the nut-jobs who, before the 2016 election described Hillary as evil? Did you ever want to slap upside their gormless faces and ask them to explain themselves? I certainly did.

There are a thousand words to describe him; as I said, using 'evil' as a catch-all word is lazy.

[denem]

9. Kids in cages,

pulled out from their mothers arms with the president's blessing. Evil.

[malaise]

11. It's very unusual for me to disagree with you

This fucker is evil

[2naSalit]

13. +1

[Blues Heron]

14. I don't need a dictionary to describe Trump as evil

if the cap fits- let him wear it. If the stocks fit- let them wear them.

[ArtTownsend]

16. It's underused for the worst kind of behavior. See, I believe in morality.

And I believe that good and evil exist.

[ibegurpard]

7. Yep

[struggle4progress]

8. Hell-bound train

Come all you people if you want to hear a story about a bad engineer
who run his train all down the road and every car had a heavy load

[no_hypocrisy]

10. Christians don't recognize The Antichrist when He leads them.

[Kid Berwyn]

12. How does he treat others?

Like disposable props.

[Poiuyt]

15. I'm not sure if he's immoral or amoral

He’s a psychopath for sure, but can he help himself? Does he know the difference between right or wrong?

[LanternWaste]

17. trump is today's version of Fitzgerald's Jay Gatsby.

“They were careless people, Tom and Daisy- they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made.”

(F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby)
