Most people who go wrong go wrong in one direction. They are greedy, or vain, or cruel. A complete inventory of the vices, and the man who has managed to embody every one.
I don't think anyone could have articulated more clearly than you have the monster that is Donald Trump. Unfortunately, the people who most need to read this and understand the truth of what you've written will never do so--or, if they do, they'll reject it out of hand. Trump truly is evil and his minions and followers are in thrall to that evil. I'll never understand that as long as I live.
You know, Tom, when it comes to Trump being evil, what seals the deal for me is the… pleasure. He can’t stop communicating the pleasure that all the vices give him. He seems to be asking, don’t you wish you were him?
It reminded me a lot of Se7en too. A movie that still haunts me 31 years later. The orange menace is indeed the embodiment of the seven deadly sins and more.

Thank you
What a great piece.

Great writing and reflection, Tom, thank you.

Incredible👌
Reminded of the movie “Se7en.” I know what I'd like to see in the box.
All of humanity’s flaws rolled up into one person.
And an entire administration that tolerates it, faciliates the behavior, and encourages it for their own benefit or pleasure.
Just wish they were more deadly right now.
