Evil is as evil does … is something that I can imagine Forrest Gump, the movie character, stating. Whether evil, actually, exists, of course, depends on a religious outlook.
That in consideration: Even if Donald Trump does nothing else that wrongs and harms a society in general, a culture and American citizens on the low end financially and economically in this country … he still is gravely evil (if that religious paradigm fits) for pouring our hard earned American tax dollars and many munitions into Israel that are being purposefully used to murder/eradicate children, frail elders, doctors and other medical staff, journalists volunteers like food service providers and others who deliberately came to Palestine to serve the downtrodden. This alone classifies him as a solid, undeniably straightforward and murderous monster as bad as Hitler ever was.
I see no discrepancies in terms of major aims and behaviors between the two. How, in fact, could realistically anyone?
In the end, I read that one of the 2,000 lb. U.S. bombs, with proof provided by its spent carcass, was sent to kill off this little girl, and that the earnest ambulance crew trying to rescue her and obeying protocol designed by IDF were very eagerly bamboozled and killed off, too.
So good luck to you if you have a broad and broken moral lassitude to find Trump’s behavior conscionable or merely even just slightly acceptable when he’s okay with the killing spree that he openly supports while dreaming of stealing land from the murdered and displaced to build a high-end resort in Gaza that makes money for him due to no work required on his part — just a mere ownership status.
In fact, I pity the unethical folks, who are so ignorant, stupid, dull witted and/or uninformed about happenings related to this singular beast’s choices, that they’re crazy on account such that they imagine him as both charming and lovable.
In contrast, a friend of mine, a retired psychology professor and private practice practitioner, shared, “I am so angry all the time these days that I’m getting sick of myself in fact” (since she can’t stand all of the many severe wrongs, like a deliberately intended genocide eagerly supported by people like Donald Trump with his self-serving ulterior motives in mind).
How not to be angry and/or deeply despondent about such disturbing happenings, especially when so much wrong id supported by the main political leader of one’s own country? So we, those of us with a sense of conscience, just keep resisting as nothing else will do regardless of whatever else others think.
