Wasn't The Donald originally a subreddit making fun of trump? I saw that TD was created here but my assumption was they wanted to restore the original purpose. I haven't looked at it since then though.
Edit: Nope. It is in fact a pro trump community.
At the very beginning, yes. The tricky thing with having fun pretending to be bigots is that you eventually find yourself surrounded by actual bigots who very much missed the fact that you were joking.

just joking, it was Descartes.

Trump was a joke until suddenly he wasn't.
He's still a joke, just one that stopped being funny a long time ago.
No, he's still a joke. It's just America is a joke too.

I think that's the one I saw originally.
Maybe for the first few weeks, then it stopped being a joke.
