    Here we go again.

    Rule #1: Don’t feed the trolls. It’s amazing how the press and public just can’t figure that out.

      While I agree that generalized statement “don’t feed the trolls” is valid, it’s completely unacceptable that a sitting US President acts in such a way and must be called out for the insanity that he suggests/causes. Sitting quietly, not being vocal, can be interpreted as compliance. But really, what a fucking timeline we are in…

        yeah, well, calling him out on every random tweet is how we got here.

        There is no such thing as bad attention, and you don’t feed the trolls.
