(115,681 posts)Nixon was a crook, Reagan was a phony, Bush I was a corporate tool, and Bush II was a neocon tool. But none of them were irredeemably evil, bad to the bone. Bad all the time. Trump, however, doesn't have a decent bone in his ugly orange body. He cheated on all of his wives, he cheated everybody he did business with, he lies even when he doesn't have to, he's never kind or generous, and the only people he seems to admire are dictators and despots. He has no real friends. He doesn't enjoy the arts or nature or literature. He doesn't even like dogs. I can't think of a single positive quality. He's just bad. If I were religious I'd have to conclude he's without redemption and damned to perdition. He's casting a spiritual blight on the whole country, and nothing will get better until he's been gone for long enough that we don't have to think about him anymore.
