But that was SC1's point. Look at the date, nearly a year since his last column.

As far as conservative critics of Trump, there are plenty. They tend to spin things against him, so claiming "truth about our current president" is a stretch.

In your quote, the implication that the "sinews of our democracy" are in danger is a prime example of such spin. Trump has followed the Constitutional limits of the president far better than any of the last three presidents. Obama was by far the worst in that regard, making up laws on his own through executive orders and departmental edicts.

All you need to do is research and read some of Krauthammer's columns. He was able to separate and acknowledge things Trump did that he agreed with and the negative effect of the man and his personality.

If something can corrupt you, you're corrupted already.
