> [@BigT](#): > > Some fairly obvious trolling from Tim R. Morris. His post has nothing at all to do with the thread topic, which is about the problems the Trump administration has had. He’s just delighting in being able to slip in an attack on Democrats in a thread where people had mentioned how bad Trump is. > > I’ll be very honest–it’s really hard for me think the guy is legit in general, because normal people don’t act like he does. But, at the very least, this is some obvious trolling. This is the thing about Trump that his supporters call “telling it like it is”. It has nothing to do with how “it is” in reality, but they love it anyway. It would be more honest for them to say that they support Trump because he “tells it like I want it to be”. ---

I feel very confident that my opinion of you as a sad, hateful little troll, if polled board-wide, would be in the mainstream. Fortunately for you and transgender people, appeals to popularity aren’t very useful. But one important difference - you have no evidence that your opinion has any basis in fact. I have extensive evidence that my opinion does. ---

> [@Annoyed](#): > > I feel very confident that my opinion on the subject, if polled nationally, would be the mainstream. A moment’s reflection on social progress throughout human history will tell you that this is evidence that you are almost certainly on the _wrong_ side of this. We didn’t need activism to (for example) abolish slavery or enfranchise women because the majority mainstream view was the right one. ---

Good for you! Problem is, we don’t decide what is and what isn’t proper medical care by the national polling of folks like you. CMC fnord! ---

Is **Tempe Jeff** a troll or not? At this point, I’m not sure I can tell anymore. Two or so years of mostly innocuous posts, then [suddenly raging Trumpist](https://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=883941). ---

Two or so years of mostly innocuous posts, then [suddenly raging Trumpist](https://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=883941). After about the fifth post of his in that thread, I could no longer maintain any beneficial doubt: cast my vote for “Troll.” Could just be “Trump voter who drank too much watching football this afternoon,” but I’m not willing to believe that anymore. ---

Two or so years of mostly innocuous posts, then [suddenly raging Trumpist](https://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=883941). He’s got another one going at the same time [over here](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=883939) in a different forum. As for the troll question, I don’t know – sometimes it’s hard to tell the difference between an intentional troll and a feeble-minded imbecile. He’s already been topic-banned from starting Jeffrey Epstein threads, one of which was started in GQ for the purpose of implicating Bill Clinton as a child molester. Then he complained about his Epstein threads being moved. So yeah, judging from the tone and quality of his posts, I’m guessing he’s either an immature dumb kid or a grown-up imbecile of very limited intellectual stature, whose cognitive development got stunted at about the age of seven. I note that [he makes his living sorting packages in a company mailroom](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=21825034&postcount=12), so, not a rocket scientist. In fact I think I just convinced myself that he fits the profile of an authentic Trumpist. ---

> [@wolfpup](#): > > he makes his living sorting packages in a company mailroom, so, not a rocket scientist. In fact I think I just convinced myself that he fits the profile of an authentic Trumpist. This comes off as quite elitist, although I don’t think you intended it in this manner. There are more reasons to go off track or never begin a career than lack of intelligence. In this case it was certainly a factor though. I would change “troll” to “low effort troll”. He posted nothing but an OP in his G7 post. If he’s going entirely for reactions then people are definitely providing them in spades. ---
