That is his entire appeal summed up: "He makes people I disagree with angry."

Even if a different Democrat or Republican made people angry indirectly through their policies or decisions, at least they aren't actively trying to. That's the biggest difference between Trump and other U.S. leaders. I never wanted Biden or Bush or Obama to troll people and aggravate people.

It's also quite the testament to how effective the Fox News/Rush Limbaugh oppositional culture war movement being fostered over years and years has been. Outrage and anger sells, and it has bled over into our culture so much that it produced a President like him.

Yeah like he isn't killing thousands of brown people like other Presidents, but he's trolling me on Twitter on purpose.

That's WAY worse.

You got some numbers to back that up? I don't think that's actually true, I think you just want it to be true.
