I know it is kinda fun to mock Trump as we know it upsets him, but what it also does is set you up as an adversary to the people you want to convince to turn against him.

There will always be the die hard Trumpers you can not convince but they aren't the ones you want to reach. If you start by coming across as childish, you will convince anyone listening to you that you only have a childish view on these things and they will not pay as much attention to you. You may even insult them by making them feel foolish having voted for him and push them further away.

Few people were ever convinced they were wrong by someone who started with name calling.

That said, you don't need to convince me, and I personally enjoy the name calling.
