Thinks of himself as a god, doesn't take criticism, and has very weird hair.

But enough about Donald Trump for now, what about Kim Jong Un?



Let's not forget this gem made the rounds on social media, and was posted by Trump supporters without a hint of irony:



But what are his golf scores? Did he set a world record for holes in one? Does he use the bathroom? And what his is position on Katy Perry?

Many answers here:

Trump Supporters Appear To Be Misinformed, Not Uninformed
And that may explain why his support has proved to be so durable.

From a NY Times article,

"Not all of the outpouring is spontaneous. Supporters have organized themselves into online squads that defend Mr. Trump.

A man identifying himself as Gary Forbes has recruited volunteer “operatives” on Twitter, sending out daily emails directing them to emphasize pro-Trump messages (“Trump’s immigration plan will protect thousands of women from abuse”) and target rival candidates (“What Jeb must do for Fox Billionaire Murdoch’s $$$”). A project code-named “Magic Kingdom” took aim last week at Mr. Rubio, the senator from Florida, according to an email obtained by The New York Times.

Asked about the effort, Mr. Forbes directed questions to the Trump campaign. A Trump spokeswoman, Hope Hicks, said the campaign had no affiliation with Mr. Forbes."


Now, who's going to believe THAT? Aside from the idiots these posts are directed at, of course, and they'd just snicker and wink anyway.
