You can't get good fruit from a bad tree, ever, no matter hard you hope it will be so.
Jesus said so, as recorded in Matthew 7:
15 “Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves. 16 You will know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes from thornbushes or figs from thistles? 17 Even so, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. 18 A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit. 19 Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. 20 Therefore by their fruits you will know them.
And if Trump and Trumpism are not a bad tree, there is no such thing.
Folks should be appalled when Trump cynically, for his own political self-aggrandizement, takes up their causes, because there is no surer and quicker way to bring it into bad repute.
“The worst thing that can happen to a good cause is not to be skillfully attacked, but to be ineptly defended.”
- Frederic Bastiat
