I try to “liken” what I read in the Book of Mormon to the events of the day. Today I read about a wicked man named Amalakiah who tried to take over the government from the rightful, righteous leaders.  See if any of this reminds you of a current politician who is trying to overthrow our legitimate government by corruptly attacking the past election and fomenting insurrection in the Capitol.  Alma 46: 

  “7 And there were many in the church who believed in the flattering words of Amalickiah, therefore they dissented even from the church; and thus were the affairs of the people of Nephi exceedingly precarious and dangerous,...

  “8 Thus we see how quick the children of men do forget the Lord their God, yea, how quick to do iniquity, and to be led away by the evil one.

  “9 Yea, and we also see the great wickedness one very wicked man can cause to take place among the children of men.

  “10 Yea, we see that Amalickiah, because he was a man of cunning device and a man of many flattering words, that he led away the hearts of many people to do wickedly; yea, and to seek to destroy the church of God, and to destroy the foundation of liberty which God had granted unto them, or which blessing God had sent upon the face of the land for the righteous’ sake.”

    My personal opinion is that the former President is not only weakening our country but is also weakening the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints by luring many of its otherwise faithful members to believe important things that are not true (e.g., the Big Lie about the last election), while attracting followers who ignore his well-documented character and history flaws for some supposed, slight political advantage. Just my opinion.
