65. If there's a scale between good and evil, Trump is near the far end.

Not the Anti-christ but certainly anti-Christ.

Jesus said we would know his followers because they would show the fruits of the Spirit: joy, peace, love, goodness, kindness, patience, gentleness, faithfulness, or self-control.

Trump displays opposite traits: joylessness and dissatisfaction, loves strife and discord, fulminates with animosity and hatred, personifies corruption, demonstrates intolerance and maliciousness, shows a high degree of intractability, treats others with harshness to the point of brutality, shows disloyalty and treachery not only to our country but also to his supporters, and last but not least, his temperament shows a high degree of instability and rashness.

He is crafty but essentially stupid, so his poor thinking abilities trip him up. His degree of brutality at this point would not match the cruelty and evil of Hitler, but what he did to immigrants and how he encouraged CBP's brutality is in the ballpark. But give him the opportunity for totalitarian power and he would likely become more evil on that spectrum and more brutal.

Where he is most dangerous is in his charisma and ability to stoke rage and hatred in others. And he gets off on cruelty and violence.
