I heard about that, but haven't seen it. There is much I don't get around to.
I think it's very significant that Trump is the first internet troll President. It's part of his phenomenal strength as an anti-candidate. It's incredibly hard for the mainstream not to have these flailing reactions in response to him. Because on the one hand, it's "just trolling" and shouldn't be taken seriously, but on the other hand, are you kidding me, of course it's significant, he's the freaking President of the United States! And on a meta level, it's incredibly significant that the President in his official capacity is trolling!
Basically, you can't just connect a jumper cable from 4chan to the Presidency without a few things shorting out.
