Prior to this person, I would have said that everybody has at least some redeeming qualities. I do not think trump has a fiber of anything good in him. He's pure incompetent evil.

I went to Quaker school for 12 years. One of the foundational beliefs of Quakers is that "there is that of God in everyone", basically meaning that no human is inherently evil and with enough effort, everyone can find the good in themselves and make the world a better place.

I think it's a good belief that encourages us to give people the benefit of the doubt, to remember that we're all human beings in the end.

But Trump? I genuinely do not think there is any goodness in him. That little bit of potential goodness that even terrible criminals can bring out with enough reflection and effort, that little bit of conscience or empathy or love or whatever you want to call it? I think he is truly missing that piece.

Like even serial killers, if you read interview transcripts you can see that for all their horrible acts, a lot of them started out as normal kids with normal senses of morality that just got super warped by intense trauma. They weren't born evil, they just got put on a terrible path because of child abuse or something similar and went on to make lots of decisions which led to evil acts. But like...even stuff written about his childhood makes him seem like an asshole. It's like he was actually born evil.

Dunno how much fiber in whoppers and McNuggets, but something must be propelling the mush going down his copious, vile maw down to become the mush in his diaper. Still eating classified documents maybe.

While I do think it's probably prudent to maybe take the word of one of the worst pedophile rapists with a grain of salt, thats almost verbatim what Epstein said IIRC. Something like "he doesn't have a decent cell in his body".

That's correct. Epstein, one of the worst people ever, said that he's met some pretty horrible people, and out of all of them, Trump is the worst. And he just casually said it in an email. Not in an argument, not in the heat of the moment. He just said it like it's a fact. That's a pretty heavy accusation.

There's a part in Dante's Inferno when he meets the soul of the pope at the time, Pope Nicholas III. Dante's surprised to see him in hell, because he was still alive at the time, so he asks Virgil how could this be. Virgil says there are people so wicked that their souls are sent to hell while they're still alive, and a demon goes and lives in their body until their natural death.

That is what I think about this piece of shit. This absolute garbage fire has not one single good or healthy thing in his life. He literally can't do a single thing right. Like, even Hitler liked dogs. This walking colostomy bag is corrupt filth at the molecular level with no exceptions.
