Every time I visit a news site that allows comments and there is a story about Trump ...

the comment section is full of Trump's cult members trying to explain away the words that came out of his mouth of from his tweets and constantly making excuses for him

When I click on the comment section I feel like I just visited a house with a child who is not potty trained and his parents are running around the house after him cleaning up excrement and telling me what a good boy he is.

Trumpsters/the parents aren't even trying to clean up the feces, they're just shrugging and saying "it's perfectly normal" while their house stinks and is covered in sh*t-smears.

...but the right wing trolls have long dominated them. I’m actually seeing LESS nasty right wing comments because no one can honestly defend him.
