Make Reddit Great Again: Trump Troll Army Grinds Out Nearly 52 Million Page Views in March
Breitbart ^ | April 15, 2016 | Allum Bokhari

thousands of users have posted gifs, memes, and links to articles praising Trump and tearing into his perceived opponents. The subreddit r/The_Donald scored nearly 52 million page-views in March, up from 12.6 million in February and 1.3 million in January. In doing so, it lapped the next most popular candidate subreddit, r/SandersForPresident, which attracted 35 million views in March.

I actually found this reddit site for Trump from the link someone posted on a topic here a while back. The reddit guys are actuslly really smart and have witty humor, I check it daily now and it had great anti liberal cartoon and stuff.

Just be forewarned it’s completely uncensored, but the support for Trump there is super high energy!

You need to learn about what above average IQ self image is all about. Pretty interesting.

"...verifying Barack Hussein Obama was born in Hawaii and is a natural-born American citizen."

Those are two VERY different things! Dr. Fukino should stick to medicine and not dabble in constitutional law. I don't care if he was born in the Lincoln bedroom! If Barack Hussein Mohammed Obama, Senior (A British subject from Kenya) is Mr. Obama's father, there is no way he is a natural-born citizen!! Native-born, perhaps, but that's not what the constitution calls for.
