Is it wrong that it caused me to think this question?

“This is why Donald Trump doesn’t have a Reddit account.”

I don’t know. I try to avoid politics on social media, except forums like this. I’m aware of The\_Donald subreddit, but I won’t go there.

I don’t think he could figure out Reddit.

From Wikipedia: "Trump himself hosted an AMA on the subreddit on July 27, 2016.’

Also, /r/The\_Donald is kinda how you know that the management is soft on Trump, as they get away with same shit that gets other subreddits shut down.

I have a plugin that lets me see anyone who has a lot of upvotes in /r/The\_Donald, and while they aren’t anywhere near a majority, they are a sizeable minority. And banning Trump would piss them off, same as banning /r/The\_Donald.

Edited to add: I found out that Alex Jones also did an AMA there. It did not go well–but not because of the people from The\_Donald.
