Wow. And he knew it was stupid when he did it. There's been a lot of talk about having the right temperament for leadership lately, and this is an excellent example of lacking it.

Lack of civility does not make these actions ok. /r/The_Donald is not a bar you want to measure yourself against.

This is like sarcastically mocking how "serious" /r/coaxedintoasnafu is.

/r/The_Donald's purpose is to be a "24/7 Trump rally". There are other Trump-related subs for serious discussion with supporters.

Good thing then; that he mimicked what he might otherwise abhor.

Can you point me to such subs? I have only been exposed to the 'joke' subreddit.
