“Evil Is As Evil Does. Donald Trump May Be A Demon”
“Many things about Trump point to Satan’s influence“
“...this piece is more about how evil manifests and how we can spot it.”
SUMMARY: This article compares Donald Trump's documented behaviors to those proscribed in the Bible’s Ten Commandments. As you can imagine, Trump has broken many of the Commandments, multiple times: Theft, Bearing False Witness (Lying), Coveting, Adultery, etc. He seems to pride himself on it. Written by Pluralus, and published on Medium.
“Is Trump Possessed by Satan?”
“Spreading Hate Has Long Been Beezlebub’s Metier”
“DJT isn’t the first evil president, and he won’t be the last. But he’s the first one I’ve seen in my 64-year lifespan.”
SUMMARY: The author describes the depth and targets of Trump’s hatreds, and speculates on the source of his instinctive animosity. “You don’t have to believe in Satan to see that DJT is imbued with his spirit.” Written by Patsy Fergusson and published on Medium’s Fourth Wave site.
“Trump is a demonic force in American politics.”
“He loves nothing more than provoking conflict all around him.”
“If I were still a believing Christian, I might be tempted to think that Donald Trump is Satan himself.”
SUMMARY: Mr. Linker describes the nature of a demon in the modern world, and this description fits Donal Trump to a ‘T’. “Someone who actively seeks to inspire anger and animus, who likes nothing more than provoking conflict all around him...” Opinion written by Damon Linker, published on THE WEEK.
“The Devil In Donald: How the Ghost of ‘Evil’ Roy Cohn Lives On Inside Donald Trump”
“...as close to a snake in nature and look as a human could be, it was lawyer Roy Marcus Cohn who taught Donald Trump how to live.”
SUMMARY: This article describes Cohn as ‘evil’ and outlines his malign influence on Trump. “Trump spent nights with Cohn in the decadent madness that was Studio 54 and kept Cohn’s photograph in his desk, ostensibly to intimidate potential litigants...” Written by Arthur Browne and published on the New York Daily News site.
“‘Demonic activity was palpable’ at Trump’s rally, pastor says.”
“...Trump’s speech evoked an ‘angry response from the crowd’ toward others.”
SUMMARY: This article recounts the story of a Florida pastor who took his young daughter to a Trump campaign rally, hoping for a civics lesson. “People were being ushered into a deeply religious experience,” Tooley wrote, “and it made me completely uncomfortable.” Written by Lindsey Bever and published in the Washington Post under ACTS OF FAITH.
Bernie Rabik: “Demonic fairly describes former President Trump.”
“Trump is all about his own political theatre ― no other actors involved.”
SUMMARY: This opinion piece describes Trump’s actions and policies as entirely self-serving and frequently at the expense of others “For Donald Trump, the only option is victory at any cost. This even includes having consul act in ways detrimental to their reputation and career.” Written by Bernard J. Rabid, as a Special to The Times (of Beaver County, PA).
