I can't follow the absoluteness of this stance. Trump did "bad things", after all, and I wonder how you could simply overlook that just by musing about the Democrat's motives instead.

I don't intend to be snarky, but imho it seems worth asking if you would have reacted the same way if Obama (or whatever dem president) had held up congressionally approved military aid to a country fighting a foe - while making clear that freeing that money is conditioned on producing dirt on the republican opponent. I have a feeling you would not focus so much on the critic's motives in said instance, even though they'd be just as big (every party hates having someone from the other party elected, after all).
