He really does check all the boxes.

Pride, greed, wrath, envy, lust, gluttony and sloth... yep, every one.

Pride - the Trump towers, how he talks about himself

Greed - he won't pay the contractors who did work for him just to save a couple dollars

Wrath - inciting violence, full page advertisements advocating the death penalty, says he loved to fight, any kind of fight, including physical.

Envy - obsessed with Hillary Clinton winning the popular vote , wants to be a dictator like the leaders of China and North Korea,

Lust - Trump is a rapist, and committed constant sexual harassment in the White House often.

Gluttony - obviously eats too much McDonald's and drinks too much soda, bottomless appetite

Sloth - avoided presidential duties to watch TV for hours, live tweets the TV he's watching for hours, is never prepared for meetings, delegates work and then takes credit for it.

Thanks for adding some detail to support my post. I thought about doing it but felt it might become overwhelming. Since you've done so already, I will add one more thing for Sloth. It's a weird one too. Trump believes that we are born with only so much energy and if you exercise you use it up and will die quicker.

After college, after Trump mostly gave up his personal athletic interests, he came to view time spent playing sports as time wasted. Trump believed the human body was like a battery, with a finite amount of energy, which exercise only depleted. So he didn’t work out. When he learned that John O’Donnell, one of his top casino executives, was training for an Ironman triathlon, he admonished him, “You are going to die young because of this.”
