I used sarcasm to make a point, yes. Here, you have claimed I've said something completely outside of the content of my post.

I base my criticism of Donald Trump solely on his actions and his words. They are indelible, and a clear-eyed person needs nothing beyond them to understand who his is and what he represents.
