I like Trump’s subreddit. It’s an interesting mix of Trump fans, Trump haters, jokesters, and trolls. I think the AMA will be a yuge success. Really terrific.

If he had any guts, he’d go to /r/IAmA, but by going to /r/The_Donald all he’s going to end up doing is whipping up a fervor in his already devoted Reddit legion.

In other words, /r/The_Donald is a safe place.

I wonder if anybody will ask for his thoughts on Woody Harrelson’s Rampart movie…

actually, i think the following:

he will field some softball questions.

users that ask the softball questions will be from accounts created by his own people.

he will not stick around long enough to answer any real questions.

A reply to a YouTube comment. Because the original comments show marginally more class and intelligence.

I’m sure someone will carry pick questions and he will dictate answers which will be “slightly” reworded as they transcribe. No tantrum, no fire, it’ll be very slick and professional and he’ll use it to call out his vocal on-Reddit critics later as losers and an example of what’s wrong with his detractors.

Trying to sneak an unpopular opinion into r/The_Donald is basically impossible. All we can do is try and downvote stuff. :frowning:

No.

You have been banned from r/the_donald.

It’s like r/Pyongyang but almost really. T-minus 104 days!

The mods at r/The_Donald routinely delete posts that question Trump, and they glory in banning users. That sub is a cesspool.

Trump’s just trying to distract people from the DNC.

It’s a PR stunt; don’t let him draw attention away from the people actually trying to fix things.

IIRC, Trump has people print out emails for him to read.

He’ll have a lackey as intermediary/typist between him and Reddit; he won’t even know that any non-fawning questions exist.

But really popular! The South Park loving Republican mass infests Reddit.

I disagree. This will end beautifully.
