In Internet slang, a troll is a person who starts quarrels on the Internet to distract and sow discord by posting inflammatory and digressive, extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community (such as a newsgroup, forum, chat room, or blog) with the intent of provoking readers into displaying emotional responses and normalizing tangential discussion,[whether for the troll’s amusement or a specific gain.

Discussion of the facts and political matter is not “trolling.” If your arguments are that weak, you need to join FaceBook and start Shadow Banning.

When a Master troll is at work most of the fish will not know they are being trolled. I’m sensing a rip tide developing on the surface of this thread.
