Possibly, but IMO he was quite clear about how he feels about Trump and his family with respect to "dividing" America. Trump won an election then was immediately, consistently, and ruthlessly attacked by Democrats, their media 5th column, and their corrupt bureaucracy in DC for 4 years. He had no choice but to attempt to defend himself. I find Scheller's opinion of Trump's combativeness to be a sick irony.
Unless he publicly recants those words, I have no sympathy for what he faces in the future. He sounds a lot like the snowflake generation when he states that Trump's generation is coming to an end. Blaming the one president from that list of his that actually tried to do the right thing was a bridge too damned far for me.
