Anonymous Declares War On Donald Trump: #OpTrump Launched

Taking time out of its busy schedule on a day it had announced as ‘day of ISIS trolling’, the online hacktivist collective Anonymous spared some time to launch a campaign against the US Presidential candidate Donald Trump. “I know why you’re not going to support me: you’re not going to support me because I don’t want your money”, Trump said.

A new NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll released Thursday, found that, while a solid majority of Americans oppose Trump’s proposal, Republicans are more receptive.

Mr. Edward Rendell, a former governor of Pennsylvania who recently spoke to Mrs Clinton about Mr Trump, said “she’s as amazed as everyone else is” by his staying power.

Contested convention? Republican officials are preparing for the possibility of a brokered convention as Trump continues to dominate polls in the GOP presidential race, the Washington Post reports. Politico has more on the letter, which also says “I would like to correct that, if you will permit me”.

A gnawing sense of dread has helped lift Trump to a new higher among Republicans, who will vote in primaries to choose their party’s nominee for the November 2016 presidential election. “The more Muslims feel sad, the more ISIL feels they can recruit them”, masked figure adds. Even British author J.K. Rowling had something to say about Trump’s comments: In a tweet, she likened the Republican candidate to Voldemort, the villain of the Harry Potter series.

The general opposition to a Muslim ban contrasts with an overall negative view of Islam, a religion of which 29 percent of Americans say they have an unfavorable impression.

The Trump campaign did not respond to a request for comment. “What he’s saying now isn’t only shameful and wrong, it’s dangerous”.

Executive board members who attended a closed-door meeting to cast their votes said that Trump’s comments had come up briefly in their discussion.

Therefore, it appears unlikely threats from Anonymous will alter Trump’s positions.

Many of Trump’s GOP rivals have been among the chorus of politicians condemning the recent proposal all week.

Trump has repeatedly made false or dubious assertions, such as his debunked claim to have seen thousands of Muslims in New Jersey cheering the 9/11 attacks.
