    It is xenophobic to call any creature "monstrous"?

      NO, especially if that creature
      is Donald Trump.

    Well, people are capable of behavior
    that can be called monstrous.

    Many qualify for that.

      Well, I think that all humans
      have moments of "monstrous" behavior.

      The trick is to keep such moments
      to a bare minimum and have enough
      positive behavior to offset
      the "monstrous" moments.
