60. Chalk up another life ruined by Trump.
Thu Oct 3, 2024, 04:21 PM
Oct 2024

I wonder how many there are by now. Not just in his political career, but going back years, including all the people he ruined financially by not paying them what he owed them.

We know that everything Trump touches dies. But for every one of those "deaths" (literal or figurative), there is a ripple effect of others (relatives, friends, associates) who are harmed.

The trail of destruction left by this one individual is immeasurable...and it continues as we speak and will continue to do so as long as he is still on his planet. Putting him behind bars would slow him down, probably a lot, but even there he will still have the power to cause trouble (albeit on a smaller scale) as long as there are people on the outside who are willing to help him communicate with whatever ragtag remnant of miscreants still support him.

It's really mind boggling how much damage can stem from the evil perpetrated by one single person. There's a reason I sometimes call him the Orange Hellbeast. His ability to create and foster hate and evil and channel those things to his own benefit seems almost supernatural sometimes.

No, I don't really believe there's anything supernatural about him. I just can't think of a better way to capture the sheer extent of his malevolence than to call him a beast from hell (which I also don't literally believe in). To me, he is and always will be the Orange Hellbeast.
