One that hasn’t been mentioned yet, but it’s been used a lot in the media, especially in the last month or two it seems: Unhinged I like it because it evokes a palpable sense of _brokenness_– the doors are falling off. The wheels are off the wagon. The train is off the rails. ---

But it implies it was the result of an accident, or accumulated wear-and-tear. Every vile, degenerate thing about Trump is _intentional_; I’m not going to give him a pass with a word that doesn’t connote intentionality. ---

I’m surprised “evil” hadn’t gotten more mentions. He actively and intentionally makes the world a worse place. He delights in hurting people. ---

The train is off the rails. > [@Fear\_Itself](#): > > But it implies it was the result of an accident, or accumulated wear-and-tear. Or, criminal levels of neglect and malfeasance. Not an unavoidable accident that merits just a shrug and and an ‘oopsie’. Anyway, googling says that according to Oxford Languages, the definition is: > **un·hinged** > /ˌənˈhinjd/ > adjective > > Wildly irrational and out of touch with reality. > > Synonyms: > > - crazy > - demented > - disturbed > - mad > - sick > - unbalanced Sounds about right to me. ---

At some point we should do a poll to decide the best word given in the thread. I’ve not the pollskills, but maybe someone else can? Or, we have a poll on whether to, and another poll on when…. Polls all the way. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/trump-in-one-word/1025436.md?page=4)
