Anonymous Doxes Trump, But Leaked Info Underwhelms

Posted by timothy on from the dog-isn't-that-shaggy dept.

Mic.com reports that the "total war" declared by Anonymous against presidential candidate Donald Trump has resulted in a grandly presented leak of some personal information. Items alleged to be personal information about Trump have been posted to PasteBin; these include a social security number purported to be his, contact information for some Trump business associates (including his agent and his lawyer's office), and some information about his family relationships. As Tech Insider points out, though, the YouTube video announcing the dump seems to overstate its significance, in that none of the information leaked is new or earth-shattering -- most of it could be quickly gleaned from a Google search or a visit to Wikipedia.

  1. Trump is untouchable by SuperKendall · · Score: 4, Informative

    This just goes to show that Trump is untouchable.

    Most people have something to hide. But Trump has been so public for so long, that anything even vaguely interesting was discovered and unveiled long ago.

    This is exactly why "trumped" up reports of things like racism don't hold water and don't affect Trump in the polls - because most people in America know his history with things like choosing a black woman as w winner on the Apprentice (someone who supports his candidacy now BTW), or his supposed hatred of immigrants when everyone knows he married a few (and probably slept with many more).

  2. Again, this can only help Cruz by damn_registrars · · Score: 1, Informative

    Hillary can beat Drumpf without working too hard. Sanders can beat Drumpf without even needing to open his mouth. Frankly the democrats could run a ficus tree and almost certainly defeat Drumpf.

    The only person who has anything to gain from having Drumpf defeated before November is Cruz as he is the only GOP contender left who could possibly win the nomination if Drumpf was run out.

  3. I **DO** want Donald J. Trump elected by Taco+Cowboy · · Score: 3, Informative

    Although I was not born in the United States of America, I am still an American, and I am sick and tired of what has happened to my government for the past 30+ years !

    It is time we kick out the D.C. establishment and get somebody else in

    I am not saying that Donald Trump will be a great POTUS, but at the very least, compare to what Obama has done (for the past 7 years) and to what George W. Bush did (during his 8 year tenure) no matter how hard Donald J. Trump tries to screw up, he won't be as bad as Obama/GW Bush

      the media, and left-wing groups

      You don't really have a left wing in the US. Even someone like Bernie Saunders is only a moderate social democrat by world standards.

      And the media is left wing in the same way that a piece of rocks is left wing, i.e. it's not a raving right wing lunatic.
