Abstract
The United States and the world have now spent two years trying to figure out how to deal with an anti-social president. The task holds even more importance over the next two years as Democrats and Never Trump Republicans consider how to challenge an incumbent president in 2020. Formulating an effective strategy should start by recognizing the ways Trumpian discourse adheres to prototypical “trolling” behavior and responding accordingly.
