Merriman-Webster defines evil as "something that brings sorrow, distress, or calamity." It's synonyms are:
- harmful
- dangerous
- detrimental
- damaging
- adverse
- bad
- wrong
- sin
The current U.S. President can be described as evil according to this definition. For him, besides every word on the list, I would add destructive as he tears my birth country apart. That he is turning the military on his own people is evil. He is also sending 4,000 troops to Latin America to stop drug cartels. This is not peaceful.
I won't add liar directly to the Trump list above.
Evil people lie covering up their bad deeds. Just think of the 34,000 lies credited to Trump by The Hill.
Stephen Miller falls into the evil category just for his willingness to cage children separating them from their parents without keeping records of who belong to whom. Even the Nazi in the concentration camps kept good records of their evil deeds. The hurt Miller brought to families may never be undone.
Netanyahu certainly falls into the evil category. Anyone who commits genocide by starving people falls into the evil category. Add to that shooting people trying to get food, the evil gets worse.
And what about the soldiers behind the guns shooting the hungry people? Are they evil?
What about the ICE people not caring if the people they round up are innocent or not? Are they evil?
What about the executives who knowingly produce and promote products that cause harm to those that use the products? Are they evil?
What about religious leaders that encourage their followers to hurt others by pushing their beliefs on others. Are they evil?
What about politicians who give into a party leader, lobbyist or corporate payoff against the interest of their constituents - are they evil?
My answer yes they are evil because they damage others.
As a child, I thought all people were good and those that weren't were taken care of by the likes of Roy Rogers or Gene Autry. Little by little I noticed in so many areas there were people that caused harm to others at all levels from town to the presidency.
There are degrees. Most people will do somethings bad in a lifetime maybe even for good reasons. There's a difference between those and the Trumps, Netanyahus, Putins, Millers, Hitlers, Francos of the world that leave a swath of destruction while pretending to be good people.
The idea that Trump would be considered for the Peace Prize is sickening. I've sent the message below to the Nobel Committee.
library@nobelpeaceprize.org
For the Committee to offer the Peace Prize to Trump would negate everything the prize stands for.
Trump is turning troops on his own people in Washington, D.C. He is treating immigrants as he wants not as the law provides.
ICE is acting outside the law to round up immigrants.
He has ignored court rulings who wanted to stop deportations.
His proven prison treatment of allegedly illegal immigrants inhumanely.
Just listening to what he is doing on the nightly news, is horrific.
Please, please, please select some worthy of the prize.
