Just wondering. Seems like a trend on social media sites. This got closed (instead of moved) in ATMB (for choice of forum, not content _per se_) so let’s try again. ---

For the record we have banned a poster by that name, but he was the sock of a banned troll. (I’m surprised the name hadn’t been used before.) Unsurprisingly, we get a lot of Trump-trolls. As far as the actual one, I’m sure he hasn’t tried, since even our worst trolls are generally more coherent. ---

The question is, has congress banned him yet? Has Pence and the 25th banned him yet? Has he pulled a Nixon, hopped on a helicopter, and banned himself already? ---

Trump joining the SDMB would be the greatest thing for site traffic this message board has ever had. Sure, he’d be banned within a week, but _what a week it would be._ ---

That is the response hoped for. ---

The SDMB is like the Democratic Party; we banned Trump before it was cool. ---

Unsurprisingly, we get a lot of Trump-trolls. Out of curiosity, when was this? I remember a user with the name Donald Trump who seemed pretty reasonable. He vanished around 2016, but I assumed it was because his username was no longer fun. ---

IIR, his handle was Donald **Rump,** and he joined way back in 2006. ---
