Is there any word for someone who makes many enemies?

English Language & Usage Asked on July 27, 2020

I want to describe a historical person as someone who makes lots of enemies. His name: Alexander Hamilton. I don’t want to insult him, just state the facts.

I was thinking maybe antagonist(ic), but it seems like that doesn't quite fit. Maybe ill-disposed?

Such a word will be hard to find, I think it is better to just form a sentence that states that he had a multitude of enemies due to <<insert reason>>. There are many words to describe his possible nature though: antipathic, antagonistic, antithetical, odious, etc.

You may be searching for "adversarial".
