He has appointed many, many, many people that appear to be the enemy of those that do not have hundreds of millions or even billions of dollars they would like to hoard and continue stealing from the rest of us. That fact is an important one and those appointees and the damage they are doing specifically should be pointed out and put under a microscope, but the trickle down and steal from the rest of us policies are what need to be attacked, not the personalities involved.
If you stick to pointing out the damage being caused, to whom, by what methods, and propose some of the countless populist counter theories that once were a staple of this party you should be safe. Even if there are those so blinded by a belief in trickle down theory or personality cults they feel that they must attack you. It will only be because they can't see anything beyond what helps their wealthy idols or because they feel they must protect the heroes they love as one might a teen idol or star athlete. Such people will always exist, but most others will see the importance of what is being criticized and agree bad policies need to be changed if it is the policies that are the core of your critique.
You will never be fully insulated from those that think these life and death matters are a sport, or you are picking on a personality they have grown to love, but sticking to criticism of bad policy makes it hard for people to gain any traction attacking either you or any valid criticisms you may offer, take comfort in that and don't be afraid to point out bad decisions when they are bad.
