Tweet Appears to Have Originated From Reddit Troll

By Daniel Politi

... Minutes after Trump sent his tweet that many immediately characterized as a greenlight for violence against the media, members of the controversial subreddit The_Donald were celebrating. Little wonder. The video that Trump tweeted on Sunday morning appears to have originated from the infamous group that has long been known as a hub for racist, anti-Semitic, Islamophobic, and misogynist content. And Trump’s apparent endorsement showed he is “one of us,” noted a post in the group ...

My wife said that he was not smart enough to put anything even that crappy, together. I maintain that whether he originally tweeted or retweeted if from someone else, he is still responsible for the message it is conveying. He is the goddamned president. He has to show some critical thinking and some restraint on stupid shit like that. People said that W Bush was someone they would want to have a beer with and they criticized President Obama for being "aloof". Bullshit!! W was just dumb. I would much rather sit down and have a conversation with President Obama, because I know that he knows a lot about a lot of stuff. Trump is worse than W. At least W seemed like he was easy going and playful. Trump is just a mega asshole with an inferiority complex.
