Is a maximally shitty being illogical? if not I nominate Trump for the position.
What is maximally great? Sounds a bit nebulous to me.

Omnipotent, omniscient, and wholly good, according to Plantinga. It's logically incoherent as Jorg said, and any indicator that it is short of perfect should render it unnecessary, but I'm not sure if it's even worth explaining how with Steve, as I sense it will just be the usual: circles and circles.
