    I've had a feeling of deja vu about Trump for months and I just figured it out. He's a troll.

        If Trump is essentially a troll, that suggests ideas for preventing future Trumps. We've developed lots of techniques for dealing with them.

        .@paulg @natfriedman You're JUST figuring that out?? Trump is your basic Internet troll. Cast it out, reel 'em in. Again and again.

        The alt-right love him for this. They think he's validating trolling as a strategy to change the world.

        @Richard_Florida he's a nut case who is close to getting elected by U.S. voters. Imagine the damage from a more astute version?

        Trolls have words. Trump is a demagogue w money, influence & a shot at the pres. Can you really not see the gulf between the two?
