Hey obvious troll, out of curiosity, are you getting paid by some idiot that thinks this will influence opinions? If so, is it actually supposed to convince people to support Trump or is this more of a classic Russian troll farm thing that's about polarizing people?

Or do you just have that much time on your hands and this was how you decided to spend it? Have you considered reading a book, watching a movie, playing a game, socializing with other humans, or maybe learning a new skill?

Just a troll with a 3 hour old account hitting all the politics and news posts with inflammatory comments ending in #TrumpNation. In this case it was just saying this was a travesty.

Been seeing quite a few of those lately.
