You know who you are, maybe 2025 is your moment to come out.

Scott, I don't share your belief that there must be an entity (Satan) behind evil.

From what I've seen in my years on this planet, humans are more than capable of inflicting the most horrendous atrocities on each other--all on their own.

As for why various cultures over the centuries have hated and persecuted the Jews, I expect that is a complicated question. A factor may be the disproportionate success of Jews that are allowed to live in peace. Jealousy and envy can be powerful motivators.

Like East Asians, Jews tend to have a strong work ethic, aim for success, and value education. Someone once wrote a book titled, "The Japanese and the Jews," which I never did get around to reading,

At times you could see him get an idea, and the look on his face was chilling. Dark-red-a smirk of enjoyment that's hard to describe.
A lot of work was done to encourage good behaviour through rewards, with rewards being removed for bad behaviour. I dont think it made much difference except to make him more cunning.
I often wonder what happened to him, he'd be in his 20s now. But in same breath im glad we have no contact.

Here in the US, now we have a psychopath on the news 24/7, doing things and stuff that affect us all.

I looked up the word psychopathy again just to refresh the context. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychopathy

Note: "Although no psychiatric or psychological organization has sanctioned a diagnosis titled "psychopathy", assessments of psychopathic characteristics are widely used in criminal justice settings in some nations and may have important consequences for individuals.[specify] The study of psychopathy is an active field of research... While the abbreviated term "psycho" is often employed in common usage in general media along with "crazy", "insane", and "mentally ill", there is a categorical difference between psychosis and psychopathy.[19]"

With the note above, I'm making a distinction re the shooter in the OP, who I figure is crazy, psycho.

Psychopathic characteristics are different. There are other characteristics often associated.

The Dark Tetrad.

https://www.google.com/search?...sclient=gws-wiz-serp

AI Overview (summary)

The Dark Tetrad refers to a set of four inter-related, negative personality traits: narcissism, psychopathy, Machiavellianism, and sadism. It's an expansion of the earlier concept of the Dark Triad, which doesn't include sadism. The Dark Tetrad is characterized by a combination of manipulation, callousness, self-centeredness, and aggression.

Why do we care, disapprove or approve?

Roland has answered that question, at least partially. And the attacks on him provide answers too, respectively.

As I said, I wouldn't insist I'm right, but your above leaves a lot pretty vague.
If our most natural instinct is to survive, to procreate, to exist, where do the evil actions enter in? If man were instinctively murderers we'd find ourselves down to one and done pretty quick.

It seems to me like we're naturally bent to co exist and color habitate, not to divide and destroy.

Then why is much of what Trump is doing working so well, which is contrary to what you say we're "naturally bent"?

Regarding character traits exhibited by Trump, such as narcissism, psychopathy, etc., etc., and found desirable enough to vote favorably for, is that, both the traits and the vote, the work of an evil spirit entity, or something else?

Perhaps you would recommend the WH hiring an exorcist rather than or in addition to Paula White as Trump's spiritual advisor? Or she could serve both roles. I'm sure she is as familiar with Satan, or he with her, as she claims to be with God. Maybe Trump needs a witch doctor or shaman rather than a medical doctor for his checkups and reports? Budget money could be saved by just assigning RFKjr the duty. If he's good enough for the public health, surly he's good enough for Trump's health.

I'm reluctant to appeal to authority regarding Trump's character and corresponding behavior. The reason is - you know what they say about the internet, and also it's too easy to get accused of confirmation bias and it may be true.

But regarding this argument about a non-physical entity, or spirit entity doing harm, there needs to be consideration of other probabilities, which excludes spirits altogether.

A Psychiatrist Hypothesises On The Possible Neurobiology Of Donald Trump’s Brain

There is a part of the brain that can be over active when a person has anger issues like Donald Trump. I discuss this, how it comes about and what the consequences might be.

===================

I especially liked the comment below the video by a Canadian: "I'm not in the field at all, but MY analysis of Drumpf's Neurobiology is that he is Nukkin Futz".

We don't come out of the womb naturally bent to do anything Trump.
Trump is a learned response after we started breathing air in this world

We can agree on that, except I would use the word fomented rather than learned.

Let's get this straight. Trump couldn't nor wouldn't have won in the void that would exist absent his lies.

IOW, his lies won the election.

That should be astonishing.

So, what have Trump supporters or appeasers or whitewashers or blameshifters or flying monkeys learned?

Take a deep breath.
