Clothahump, Trump is a loud mouthed prick with no sense of decency who isn’t as smart as he thinks. I can see why you’re drawn to him. ---

I’m a little amused by the attempts to blame Trump’s election on Democrat policies. It allows his supporters to deflect blame for his screwups while claiming credit for his successes, if any. ---

> [@iiandyiiii](#): > > We have to be gentle and careful with Trump supporters like **Clothahump**. They’re very delicate and sensitive about criticism of their chosen one. Even though they won the election, they are so fragile that the slightest whiff of negative sentiment can send them into shattering tantrums, which they often express by projecting their own feelings of inadequacy and confusion on the critics. **Clothahump** and his ilk are the sorest winners I’ve ever seen. I think it’s a lot worse to be a sore winner than a sore loser. > [@](#): > > It’s okay **Clothahump** , we love you and care for you.

It’s okay. **Clothahump** is mainly useful in showing just how clueless and idiotic you have to be to be a Trump supporter. ---

> [@Budget\_Player\_Cadet](#): > > Meanwhile, **Clothahump** is nothing more than a two-bit troll, and I still find it hard to believe that he hasn’t been banned when quite a few posters I quite liked, who very often made well-intentioned, intelligent posts (something this asshole has shown himself _completely_ incapable of), got hit with the banhammer. I’m guessing that he’s still here mainly because, dumb and silly as he is, he confines his most of his hostility to the Pit. Note that he rarely posts in a forum that requires something like civility and actual argument. ---
