Yes. Trump is evil—not in some abstract philosophical sense, but in the concrete, material harm he's inflicted on countless lives, particularly those of marginalized people. His policies and rhetoric have emboldened white nationalists, criminalized immigrants, targeted trans people, undermined democratic norms, and treated truth and accountability like disposable inconveniences.
Let's not mince words. Separating children from their families and locking them in cages under I.C.E.—evil. Trying to overturn a democratic election and incite a violent mob—evil. Promoting racism, misogyny, xenophobia, antisemitism, and every kind of toxic nationalism—evil. Cozying up to fascists and dictators while gutting environmental protections, worker rights, and healthcare access—evil.
This isn’t “just politics.” This is about the deliberate amplification of cruelty, the normalization of bigotry, and the consolidation of power through fear and division. Trump is not some misunderstood figure. He’s a reactionary agent of chaos, a danger to democracy, and a symbol of a system rigged to protect wealth and whiteness at the expense of justice and humanity.
So yes—Trump is evil. And the fight against him, and everything he represents, is one of the most important struggles of our time.
