Me          thinks poor wittle bi-polar clinically depressed ski bunny knows, 
having looked up what Trump HIMSELF did and didn't like what he found, so he 
plays the ignorance game, while trying to get others to do legwork he's already 
done.

I'll give you one a day, as long as you ask for them.

1. Tax cuts.

APNews:

Fueled by his (read, HIS) historic tax reform and an unprecedented REGULATORY 
ROLLBACK (ah shit... gave you two), the economy grew by 4.1 percent in the 
second quarter. The unemployment rate is just 3.9 percent - near the lowest it 
has been in nearly two decades - and the New York Times reports, "Job growth is 
on a record streak [and] American factories ... are hiring at their fastest 
rate in two decades."

(I won't say anything about the factories and places of employment he visited 
to get on-board with his policies... just yet.

African American and Hispanic unemployment rates are at near record lows. And 
the unemployment rate for women is the lowest it has been since 1953.

Virtually everyone is doing better thanks to the Trump economic boom. - APNews

An Internet troll is someone who enters an online discussion and posts comments 
designed to upset or disrupt the conversation.

"Dark Tetrad" personality traits include narcissism, Machiavellianism, 
psychopathy, and sadism. 

(someone's been reading my possstss againnnnn)

In a study of 1200 people, Dark Tetrad scores were highest among people who 
said trolling was their favorite Internet activity.

In this month's issue of Personality and Individual Differences, a study was 
published that confirms what we all suspected: Internet trolls are horrible 
people.

Let's start by getting our definitions straight: An Internet troll is someone 
who comes into a discussion and posts comments designed to upset or disrupt the 
conversation. Often, in fact, it seems like there is no real purpose behind 
their comments except to upset everyone else involved. Trolls will lie, 
exaggerate, and offend to get a response.

What kind of person would do this? Some Canadian researchers decided to find 
out.
Study: Internet Trolls and Dark Tetrad Personality Traits

They conducted two online studies with over 1,200 people, giving personality 
tests to each subject along with a survey about their Internet commenting 
behavior. They were looking for evidence that linked trolling with the "Dark 
Tetrad" of personality traits: narcissism, Machiavellianism, psychopathy, and 
sadism.

They found that Dark Tetrad scores were highest among people who said trolling 
was their favorite Internet activity. To get an idea of how much more prevalent 
these traits were among Internet trolls, one can refer to tables from the paper 
showing low Dark Tetrad scores for everyone in the study ... except the trolls. 
Their scores for all four traits soar on the chart. The relationship between 
trolling and the Dark Tetrad is so significant that the authors write in their 
paper:

"... the associations between sadism and GAIT (Global Assessment of Internet 
Trolling) scores were so strong that it might be said that online trolls are 
prototypical everyday sadists." [emphasis added]

Trolls truly enjoy making you feel bad. To quote the authors once more (because 
this is a truly quotable article): "Both trolls and sadists feel sadistic glee 
at the distress of others. Sadists just want to have fun ... and the Internet 
is their playground!"

The next time you encounter a troll online, remember:

These trolls are some truly difficult people.
It is your suffering that brings them pleasure, so the best thing you can do is 
ignore them.
