You're making my point.  It's not about what Trump says anymore.  It's about who Trump is (and was, and is expected to be).   Trump, the man, hijacks any issue on which he pronounces.  If he says something wrong, he is vilified.  If he says something right, it is quickly dismissed as not being genuine because he is evil (or "one ugly hombre"). 

There is a widespread visceral hate for the man, which I can understand.  However, this hatred is too often translated into criticism and intolerance for anyone who doesn't denounce him as strongly as they do.  

And that, my colleague in commentary, is problematic.  It's turning every issue on which he speaks into a referendum on Trump which hijacks the original issue.
