Wow. Spot on. The most concise and incisive description of Trump I’ve ever seen.

Yes Trump is a troll, but any time I read a description like this, it just comes across as a person who hasn't actually heard much from Trump directly, someone who is basing their opinion on second hand descriptions of the guy from the opposition.
It's just factually wrong.
If you want to say Trump has no class, I'm there with that. He intentionally avoids class because it's part of the persona that he cultivates as a troll. It's really ugly to me, and not only is it worth calling out, but it also reflects poorly on his followers. And on the state of society that the better path pushes away his followers.
But where this description goes awry is when it starts talking about things like him never laughing. He laughs all the time! He jokes all the time! (And, he is a joke, intentionally so.) Anyone who doesn't realize that apparently hasn't seen a large part of his shtick.
You can't understand Trump or Trump supporters, and you can't oppose him properly, if you're not aware of this huge dimension of his public persona.
#Trump supporters perceive a tremendous amount of warmth and humor from the guy. Anybody who doesn't know that is part of his thing is in no position to fight against him. They are blind to half of his ammunition.
@volkris Seen way more of that guy than I ever wanted to, and never saw a genuine laugh. Smirks and sneers aren’t laughs.
I found zero factual errors in that article.
