The Beatles sang, “Money can’t buy me love,” and while that’s true, conversely, Donald J. Trump has proved that the evil and sadistic use of money and power can bring on hate. For most people in all nations, Trump is the most hated person on the face of the earth.
How evil is Donald J. Trump? Ah, let me count the ways.
Based on reports and studies covering the impact of the U.S. foreign aid cuts and the suspending of funding for USAID in 2025 from Oxfam and other researchers, well over 700,000 people have died, more than 500,000 were children. A study in the Lancet Global Health suggests that if the cuts become permanent, they could lead to over 14 million to 22 million deaths by 2030.
Trump and his administration have been blamed by human rights advocates, legal rights advocates and civil liberties organizations for the abuses, mistreatment and deaths that were caused by U.S. immigration policies and ICE actions and custody during enforcement operations.
ICE has become the current version of Southern racism and the denial of freedom and civil rights after slavery was officially abolished by the Emancipation Proclamation. Trump appears to want to reverse racial history and give respect to the Confederacy and all those who denied equality to Black people.
Many members of ICE are untrained in the crucial public service of policing, and many are sadistic bullies, including killers who bragged about shooting and killing American citizens and legal residents.
Donald J. Trump is a demented and sadistic killer, albeit by proxy, and I believe that after witnessing his actions and statements in the first year of his second presidency (including his portrayal of the Obamas as apes on his Truth Social that he left up for 12 hours), any educated person who supports Trump must be as racist and xenophobic as he is.
This includes most of the Republicans in Congress. Many call themselves Christians. What hypocrisy!
How do they love their neighbors as themselves when Christ made it clear that “my neighbor” is anyone in need (regardless of race, religion, nationality or social status). How can Trump supporters call themselves Christians? To be a Republican and Trump supporter, one must first and foremost be a hypocrite.

I partially agree with the last paragraph of your letter, but you’ve misidentified your target audience. I’ll correct the error of your ways.
How can Democrats profess to love their neighbors as themselves while simultaneously advocating for abortion and euthanasia? How can they possibly condemn any individual when they support legislation that promotes these practices?
Regarding name-calling, I do not feel compelled to resort to it because, unlike you, I possess a comprehensive vocabulary and do not require the use of derogatory terms to convey my arguments.
