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

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.
