Is Trump An Internet Troll?

[Cavebear]

I'm beginning to think that the easiest way to understand Trump is as an internet troll.  He fits all the definitions.  Short posts, mean attacks, unsupported accusations, non-realistic opinions of himself and his knowledge.

Any thoughts?

I would agree.  But most Internet trolls aren't former reality TV stars or President of the US.

Well, one of them finally Made The Grade, He surely is their deity. 

There once was a President, Trump
Who told his supporters to dump
Their weird thoughts on the Net
And MAGA-best yet,
Their fake newiest news for to pump.

Ok, not great, but I only spent 3 minutes at it...

He is, as some would say, full of it.

Trolls are as trolls do, so yeah, Trump's pretty trolly. Holy troll, Batman!


But he's just a baby troll, playing at being an adult troll.

I disagree.  He is King Of Trolls.  They worship him.

So compare Ronald Reagan vs Donald Trump as to when you put a media celebrity in the White House?

I think at this point it's inaccurate to call these hateful type of people, "Internet Trolls".

Internet trolls certainly created a certain culture that the world was much better off without, or perhaps more accurately gave that culture a medium to thrive and expand from, but at this point that "internet" culture has established a very firm foothold in the real world.

Reagan ranks just behind Trump as "First Idiot" in my personal opinion.  Well, maybe after The Shrub...

And the trolls are almost everywhere.  This place seems relatively free of them, and I appreciate that very much.

Ouch, I think it insulting to anyone, to compare them to The Shrub ;-)

Troll free?  Yes.  But I can just imagine you as a Twitter poster ;-)

I never touched Twitter.  Idiots don't interest me much.

Twitter is swimming with piranhas.  Doesn't seem fair to the fish.

Well, since I don't Twit, it really doesn't matter.  Arguing with trolls is a fool's pleasure.
