False. I have no interest in denigrating Trump personally. My goal is to provide a push back against things he is doing that are wrong, and against those that try to hide, excuse, or otherwise dismiss the bad things he is doing.
I'm always still in trouble again

I suppose it could happen, as part of a lesson in bad examples, but certainly not approvingly.
Regarding the article in the o/p, looking beyond the fetid style, there's little to favor beyond the author's equivocations between the difficulties in regaining a good reputation after losing it and losing it after it's been won, which is worth a laugh, so that's something. I'd imagine you know that's not true, or can figure it out once a more careful reader has pointed it out.

But that's Hillary, a political enemy whom you've declared evil. A preacher calling someone evil should mean something more than that, I'm thinking.
As conservatives go, you're probably a decent preacher, poke. But when you mix your faith with politics, even your preaching is likely to come under doubt. I'm hardly the first to note this, not by millennia.
You've start threads chastising the perceived dishonesties of Obama's press secretaries, but not a peep on Spicer or Sanders; and the same with Warren for discrepancies in speeches separated by decades while mocking Jim as triggered when he applies those principles to Trump and does what you too should be doing and would be doing, if your opposition was based on principle rather than party.
I keep telling myself you mean well.

When Trump is the basis or referent for 80%The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.
