Using "Trump is a complete assh*le / trigger bait" photos of Trump on aggregates like Raw Story & Daily Beast... [View all]

I don't need any help disliking Trump.

But Raw Story, The Daily Beast and others are obsessed with click-bait photos of Trump at his most asshole-iest.

Example here:

https://www.rawstory.com/2675261220/

And I think the intention is to create a visceral negative reaction BEFORE YOU READ a WORD of their piece, which I find offensive, and makes me see them as no better than Fox or Newsmax.

Manipulation is manipulation.

If you've read my posts, you know I've found Trump to be a vile, offensive pig LONG before the politics. LONG before "The Apprentice."

Maybe back to his admission on the Howard Stern show, and elsewhere, that he'd like to bone his own daughter.

So I don't need the "Look at this asshole" photos. I'm already sold on that.
