Why not both? It’s not a binary; sometimes the venn diagram is just a circle.

Yes on the earlier comments – mental illness and evil are not mutually exclusive. But, even acknowledging both descriptions, „profound stupidity“ is a glaring omission and should be included for full disclosure.

He’s evil and pathetic. “You’re a rotter, Mr Trump. You’re the king of sinful sots, your hearts a dead tomato with moldy purple spots, Mr.Trump, Your a three decker sauerkraut and toadstool sandwich with arsenic sauce! The Grinch’s Theme Song says it in a language even a child can understand.

He is evil to everyone and everything he is involved with. His wife, kids, ‚friends‘, everyone.

„The love of money (greed) is the root of all evil“
Money hoarding isn’t really all that different than the hoarding you see on that „Buried Alive“ show if one truly thinks about it, other than being currency that they obsess over rather than physical items.
It seems to be that he’s both, and both states are entangled with one another.

Both can be true. He has a mean narcissistic personality and his frontal lobe decay means he can’t hide it anymore and is erratic.

Trump is just your average capitalist with some political power. He’s not special, he’s just the perfect representative of his class.

Their parents traumatized the brother into fatal alcoholism and Trump into pure evil.

Welcome to the party Common Dreams! Glad you figured it out after spending all of 2024 attacking the Democrats. Lesson taught, right?

I have been saying this for years!! But the people who voted and supported him are more evil

Well, Epstein called him „Evil“. I’d say that was a professional opinion.

Whilst the choice of wording isn’t correct (it’s unlikely ontological evil exists if morality isn’t absolute/intrinsic) – the sentiment is correct;
He’s not “crazy”, he knows what he’s doing and that it has overtly negative effects. It’s not that he doesn’t understand the effects of his behaviour, it’s that he doesn’t care.
And why should he – America has literally indulged his every whim, including raping children, making him president, never holding him to account, and on and on.
He has literally no reason to believe he will ever suffer any negative consequences for his actions because he essentially never has before.
This is also just part of a micro-industry that sells “isn’t Trump terrible” fluff pieces whilst doing nothing to stop him – in fact, actively encouraging him by opining about how bad he is whilst also giving him the attention he craves, and nothing bad whatsoever.
At this point the real surprise is that anyone is even remotely shocked, or that Americans don’t recognise that they literally made Trump from the ground up, themselves, and have no one but themselves to blame for him and everything he does.

Hes 100% both. Most Republicans are evil, almost none are as profiundly demented as Donald Trump

I’ve never thought he was mentally ill, just profoundly dumb and selfish, but he inherited so much money it’s nearly impossible to truly fail.

The apprentice was a show about the world’s biggest asshole being an asshole to other people and to what degree people are willing to tolerate that asshole. Some people love watching assholes being assholes. Some people love it so much they would vote for the asshole to be their leader because they think they could be loved by the asshole and do really well on that show.
They probably had a complicated relationship with their parents or something. It’s a deeply rooted American culture thang.

Evil is the absence of empathy and empathy is not rewarded in capitalism.

He is mentally ill *and* he is an evil person in terms of his conscious actions. It’s not a binary. Acknowledging he is mentally ill is not wrong — it speaks to his fitness for office.
