Reddit users have begun a campaign titled #SendEmSalt where they send The New York Times offices large bags of salt, ridiculing the publication for their angry (or salty) reaction to the election of Donald Trump. Users in /r/The_Donald, Reddits largest Donald Trump supporting community, posted a thread three days ago titled, #SendEmSalt: An attempt to deliver 1 ton of salt to the New York Times. Within the thread, user /u/njmksr writes, While I was viewing the frontpage today, I was inspired by one Pedes [a term short for centipede that refers to Trump supporters] act of sending the NYT 25 pounds of salt. So, I thought we could follow in this brave patriots footsteps and pool together to send the New York Times an entire literal ton of salt.
The symbolic gesture of sending bags of salt appears to be a commentary on what many of Reddits President-elect Trump supporting community view as an angry reaction to the election by the New York Times. Donald Trump himself has claimed that of all publications, the NYT treated him the roughest of all. I have great respect for The New York Times. Tremendous respect. Its very special, said Trump in a meeting with the NYT,
I think Ive been treated very rough. Its well out there that Ive been treated extremely unfairly in a sense, in a true sense. I wouldnt only complain about The Times. I would say The Times was about the roughest of all.
According to /u/njmskr on Reddit, a total number of 105 twenty-five pound bags of salt have been sent, 16 more than was needed to make up the full ton of salt that users hoped to send to the New York Times offices.

Oh, we should be mailing something else to the Slimes that starts with “S” and ends with “T.”
Instead of salt:

but they are already full of it
Here you go ...
B.S., The Washington Post made the election coverage from The New York Times look positively fair by comparison.
I’ll send butthurt ointment.
Please call it lefty tears, or scare-quote the word “liberal.”
The modern “liberal” movement is a quite thoroughgoing hoax. A more illiberal phenomenon, one would be hard pressed to identify.
excellent!
I wonder if he ever considered we’d be contemplating using such tactics against his own fellow leftists once they got into power ?
I don’t like calling these folks “liberals”, either. The left hijacked the phrase which they’ve perverted into the opposite of what classic liberalism stands for, which was the ideology of the Founding Fathers. It’s not tolerant, it’s totalitarian intolerance. It’s not progressive or forward-thinking, it’s regressive, destructive, backwards and fails every time it’s tried. It’s not good, it’s evil.
I was hoping they would rub some on their wounds....
Don’t waste your money. Send a thank you to DT instead.
And don’t buy those papers! MAGA!
I’d be careful with this. Mailing unlabled “white powder” could be viewed as terrorism....should the Times decide to get nasty.
The envelopes should be clearly labled many times...both inside and out....with something like “salt for your crow.”
I can remember long ago mailing tea bags to Congressmen. It was noted, but nothing really changed.
This election, may actually bear fruit.
God Bless the US, again.
Salty? I thought salty meant naughty, as in “salty stories”.
I also like salt as a metaphor for both “rubbing salt in an open wound” and “salting the earth.”
One means torturing someone who’s injured — like the New York Times —and the other means the total destruction of one’s enemies.
