    If you support Donald Trump on any social media platform does it make you a troll?

    Not if you genuinely support him, it justs means you may be sadly misguided :wink:

    This place is the extent of my social media participation, so from here? They're good to have a laugh at.

    does a troll = those who disagree with ones own line of thinking? I think some on these boards think that is the case.

    Had same thought. Also like Chad's reply. I like trolls. Course sure people feel I am one at times. Ha.

    Somewhat true although credit for that must also be given to those who feed the trolls.

    B, sometimes people need to be called out on their shit. Fine to be an asshole provocative "stir the pot" but expect that it'll be laughed at or addressed, or somewhere in between.

    I've done so, and will happily take credit for the crumbs I might've fed them ;)

    As you probably know, I've done just that as well but I've come to believe that there are way to do that which are more effective and there are times when it is better to just ignore the troll and Kat said it well here:

    Did everyone see how the troll shrank down to a teeny tiny size when he was ignored?

    :how_interesting:

    Have a great weekend everyone. :)

    For those time when you really feel compelled to respond to a troll there are ways to do so that make them look the fool and not yourself but that's tricky, takes a lot of forethought and is often just a wasted expenditure of time. But if course, I've done that too!

    Ignore trolls. Fantastic idea.

    But isn't Trump a troll? By the looks of it, here on this forum, as well in the outside world, he gets more attention by far than all the other candidates. And even if you don't even include the media in that assessment, people just can't stop talking about the guy. Ignore him though? I bet he would be either pissed or just do something more outrageous to carry on his trolling. And get people to talk about the clown again.
