Who cares? Trump supporters are the rudest, dumb, uninformed memers in the planets. They exist only on reddit to shit on every other subs and politics. Their subreddit is a mess.

Editing comments to get ANY agenda across is wrong.
I've had enough with the way /r/the_donald goes about its business. every 3rd comment is HIGH ENERGY, LOW ENERGY, CUCK, NO BRAKES and other full caps bold bullshit what /u/spez did was wrong and im not supporting him but tbh i dont give a shit about /r/the_donald In related news apparently the reddit slack chat leaked and they're finding a way to shut down r/t_d [url]http://archive.is/ZmULb[/url]

It shows that a platform, that is used by people like the President, to influential artists, to celebrities, can have their posts edited at any point to contain anything.

Admins openly admitting to changing the contents of someone posts opens up implications of "What if they edited the Presidents comments? What if they changed something someone said which had dubious legality? What if they edited someones comment and they got arrested for it?" This isn't about "lol it's just r/the_donald".

He was being fraudulently accused of being a pedo by r/the_donald. the joke has gone too far by harassing him with this.

What happened to live and let live?? I mean, sure, these people don't neccessairly prioritize the same things we do in a president but holy god damn if the anti-circlejerk is 10x more annoying than the circlejerk itself.
