why Trump is evil. — NOS4A2
I put Trump near the end of the spectrum, say about ten standard deviations from the mean. Where do you put him? And a dichotomy is false if it is false, not because it might be false in contexts that themselves would make it false.That's a false dichotomy, that because Trump is not a good man, that he is an evil man. Surely you recognize a spectrum? — DingoJones
So instead of keeping countries like Russia at bay with military force, we partner with them. — NOS4A2
One does have to remember that the US is (or was) a Superpower. Hence when (if) the US leaves any place, it will create a huge void where other countries will, basically out of necessity, try to fill in the gap. And this can turn ugly. So the thought that the US going back home will solve everything is wrong. It can also open up a can of worms.I agree with what you say. The Middle East policy is a disaster and an utter failure. All the more reason to get out of there. — NOS4A2
FYI, most people do. To be sure, most people do it automatically.I don't think most people put much more thought into ethics or morality than Trump does. — DingoJones
Seldom would I call a politician evil. No matter what kind of corrupt sexual predator he is. You will be then accusing people of supporting evil. Evil is something one shouldn't even tolerate.If you do not think that Trump is an extremely and unusually evil man, then you haven't been paying attention - or don't understand. — tim wood

I have had a horrible thought about Trump - that the impeachment will turn out to be the Coronation of the Emperor. Meaning that, if/when the supine Senate Republicans absolve him of sin, then he has completely untrammelled reign... — Wayfarer
The Great Scapegoat. Blame him for everything; give him credit for nothing. But as far as we know the worst he’s ever done is said things you don’t like—thoughtcrimes. His heresies lead the prudes and hypocrites to expose themselves as they cry wolf. — NOS4A2
Now this is great thinking from a fellow PF member, the reason why I participate in this Forum.I have had a horrible thought about Trump - that the impeachment will turn out to be the Coronation of the Emperor. Meaning that, if/when the supine Senate Republicans absolve him of sin, then he has completely untrammelled reign, of the kind that he's behaved as if he's had since elected. I think if that happens we will begin to see the real Trump for the first time. — Wayfarer
Yes, a guy who worked in a movie theatre that Trump visited is sorted to be the best answer.If you’re ever bored read through these Reddit threads. They are anecdotes of people who have worked for him or have met him. If what they say is true he it seems he is a very nice and likeable man, and not the villain people make him out to be. — NOS4A2

Maw is convinced the support for impeachment with voters is such that if the republicans acquit it will cost them dearly in the election, — Benkei
