Breitbart.com ^ | May 9,2016 | Breitbart News

From the New York Post: In Internet parlance, a troll is a malevolent mischief-maker, a commenter who says something politically incorrect, then sits back and enjoys the resulting furor — sometimes even fanning the flames under multiple contradictory identities.

In Scandinavia, a Troll is a legendary trouble-making creature who lives under bridges.
Trolling offshore uses large bait when fishing for large gamefish such as Marlin and Sailfish.

I think we should look at the original meaning of "troll." In Norse culture, a troll wasn't necessarily a Jotun (the big ugly thing that comes to mind when we hear "troll" today), but any being with supernatural/magical powers. A beautiful sorceress, a successful warlord, or a forest spirit could all "troll."

So maybe Trump is trolling.

My dad had a 3 hp...then 5...then 7. The boat was small and he had to use mom as a counterweight on the 7 hp. We still have the little Penn Yan from the 40’s in the family.

That took me back a few years to one of my very first paying jobs. I was 10 or 11 years old and I worked for a farmer as basically a counter weight. I rode the planter and kept the hoppers full which was the very easy part.

I was on that rig 10 hours a day, eating and breathing dirt for $5.00 a day. I was happy when planting season ended.
