There are standards of decency and honesty and political integrity
that apply to ANY human being - even a born enemy of the working class.
A principled democratic socialist would indeed recognize that Donald Trump IS the legitimate president of the United States -by election laws that must be respected until a mass democratic political movement can replace them with a more profound " revolutionary " legitimacy.
Also, it is unprincipled to LIE even about political enemies. Trump is NOT the puppet of Vladimir Putin . The only possible " Russian connection " is a BUSINESS deal.
Imperial America-with its New Colonialism in the Middle East- has no moral authority even to scold Russia for its own " self -defense " strategies. Or China for bold moves off its own coast.
President Trump is NOT A KKK racist or an anti-Semite or a woman hater or a gay hater or a hater of Mexican immigrants. Or even a hater of Muslims.
His latent " fascism " is a threat to ALL working class people as a CLASS. His " America First " nationalism is a threat to world peace.
The democratic socialist position is that democracy in America has been undermined for decades now by the two party system , by BOTH Democrats and Republicans.
Helping the Hillary Democrats hold on to power is no way to fight incipient American fascism.
Vladimir Putin was right to see Hawk Hillary as threat to post communist Russia.
By the way, capitalism in Russia is just as rotten as capitalism in America.
