    The wiki article you linked has a section on Trump and how it does not break the rule. So I would say, based on the evidence you presented, no it doesn’t.

      That section does not describe how it does not break the Goldwater Rule. I’m not sure how you came to that conclusion based on what it reads in the section.

      It lists specific instances where the rule and commentary on Trump intersect, as well as citing commentators that disagree with the APA about how the Goldwater Rule is applied with Trump.

        Except it does. It states that the Goldwater Rule applies to members of the APA only and that the APsaA does not consider it an ethical matter. So it is an ethical guideline of a certain organization so the members of the APsaA are not breaking any rule since it is not part of their organizations ethical guidelines.
