Read all of my sentence beginning at the word “but”.
That states my actual position.
I fear he be played for a fool, or lied to (just enough for the Dems to win) this time.
That is sufficient retraction, even though I did not happen to state it explicitly the first time in the heat of the moment.

$10 million won’t even cover the voter fraud in Philadelphia.
Trump is a cretin and a fool.

You took back that he was a cretin. Then went into a bunch more pearl clutching and saying he was being played for a fool. POTUS is neither a Cretin nor a Fool.
NOTHING you say matters a whit till you take it ALL back. And that’s just the way it is.
POTUS works so hard and makes a lot of sacrifices — I’ll call you out anytime you call him names. You should be ashamed of calling him names.
There IS a difference.
I love the Country even more than I love Donald Trump: it is because of his love of the country that I support him.
I do not want him falling down on the job.
The flipping of so many California House seats by apparent voter fraud, very much alarmed me: because I think it will take much more than ex post facto "look, I filed a lawsuit, aren't I a good boy?" posturing by the GOP-e, to reverse the flood of voter fraud which I see as inevitable in the 2020 Presidential race.
Remember the Chair of the GOP is Romney's niece.
In reading the definition of cretin, it is clear that it is a perjorative, and reading the definition of perjorative, it is clear that the use of the word cretin, in the context it was used in, is wholly inappropriate.
One could also perform an exegesis of the word fool, and- the use of the word fool as a perjorative, in the particular context it was used in, and reach a similar conclusion as to it’s inappropriateness.
It would be far better if one is fair in their use of words of criticism directed towards the President. Just about, everyone here- understands that there is already an avalanche of round the clock criticism directed towards the President, by design, and in conspiracy. We don’t need to perpetuate or advance unwarranted criticism of the President. We are the counter battery to said attacks. Man the ramparts!
