The questions are can Trump become more evil that that which he is fighting in order to defeat it and then return to good. Or will he end up been partly evil.
People who hunt evil to much will at some point become evil.
Did Jesus become evil after he whipped the money makers in the temple and ran them out?
Did David become evil after he killed Goliath with a sling shot?
There are many examples where good had to use evil to kill the enemy but never became evil afterwards.
I think Trump has God on his side and this is why he will win in the end.
I don't see the "evil" in either of those actions. They both seem to be on behalf of the people. Maybe I've stared into the Abyss a few minutes too long...

Diogenes was eating bread and lentils for supper. He was seen by the philosopher Aristippus, who lived comfortably by flattering the king.
Said Aristippus, ‘If you would learn to be subservient to the king you would not have to live on lentils.’ Said Diogenes, ‘Learn to live on lentils and you will not have to be subservient to the king.’
