I’m reminded of country names like the “Democratic People’s Republic of Korea”, whose democratically elected leader, Kim Jong-un, is much beloved by the aforementioned People who democratically elected him.

Trump openly admires him and Putin, especially the way their whole country is comprised of nothing but fawning sycophants, all happy to have the glorious opportunity to not be executed. So it’s no surprise that Trump is striving to be just like these very popular leaders that no one ever disparages because, just like his phone calls and his accounting practices, everything Trump does is perfect.

I’m kind of disappointed at the poor quality of this troll. Whatever happened to the Starving Artist type, who could burble on and on about how much better the good old days were (especially with [those paper towel tubes](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/its-time-to-officially-pit-joe-paterno-and-the-penn-state-football-program/602167/2441)) and generate multi-hundred-post threads doing battle with him?

ETA: Should this post come with a trigger warning?

One nice thing about a drive-by troll is that by just leaving a turd and running away forever, they are essentially banning themselves.

Unemployment is at a record low.

The stock market is way up.

The value of my 401k has nearly tripled.

I can eat at restaurants and go to movies and concerts and fairs and parades.

I don’t have to worry about the president making a major policy announcement at 2 AM via Twitter.

Our allies view us more favorably.

We’re actually getting major government investments in infrastructure.

Violent crime is down.

The average price of gas is down.

Russian expansionism is being contained.

Violent crime is down.

How much time you got?

Hospitals aren’t using refrigerated trucks to store dead bodies.

Toilet paper is available in stores.

My elected representatives in Congress are not being hustled into safe rooms by Capitol security.

Every time I see something like the OP I wonder if even _they_ believe what they’re posting. With a likely one-and-done as mentioned, I doubt it. Oh, not in general, but a fact free appeal to emotion, full of insults and put downs, and a refusal to accept any source they don’t approve? Nah, that’s someone trying to pwn some libs, rather than a true believer in anything.

IE Trolling using Trump, rather than a Trumper wanting to preach to the heathens. A small, and possibly negligible difference, but one that causes me to have _even less respect_ for them as it were.

I’m old enough to remember rioting and looting.
