What scares me the most about this deranged word salad is not simply his extreme narcissism (his only altar is a mirror!) but rather the vein of hatred and vindictiveness that is threaded through it.

As a “nonbeliever” (by your standards, at least) I generally have no use for concepts like “the devil incarnate” or “the Beast of the apocalypse,” but if anyone qualifies for this superstitious label, it is Trump: a man of pure evil, with no redeeming qualities whatsoever.
