Trump's Website Is Coded With a Broken Server Error Message That Blames Obama (techcrunch.com)
An anonymous reader quotes a report from TechCrunch: If you're a fan of Easter eggs hidden in source code, this is a pretty good one. Apparently, as Washington Post data reporter Christopher Ingraham observed on Twitter, some Trump administration and GOP websites have a portion of code with a joke that throws shade at Obama's golf habits, the irony nowhere to be found. We checked the source code and sure enough the line "Oops! Something went wrong. Unlike Obama, we are working to fix the problem and not on the golf course" appears on action.donaldjtrump.com sites, like the one hosting this surely statistically sound, Obama-obsessed "Inaugural Year Approval Poll," but not on donaldjtrump.com pages. As Ingraham pointed out, it's also present on some official GOP sites, including the GOP.com homepage. In both instances, the Obama dig is paired with a 404 error message that states "What do Hillary Clinton and this link have in common? They're both dead broke." To top it off, the code itself is apparently itself broken, swapping a single equal sign where there should be two. An honest mistake? Or perhaps the world was never meant to be gifted with these very good jokes at all?
is always be accusing your opponent of whatever it is you do.

It's funny because Trump has spent one day in four on a golf course. Or is it not supposed to be irony?

Next someone'll tell me that Mexico is paying for a wall.
Including an intimate evening with Kellyanne Conway.
I think I threw up a little in my mouth. Does she cosplay as Skeletor for you at the same time?
My deity what a pathetic bunch of losers rule the US.

Trump's behavior is disgusting, unprofessional, and unbecoming of a sitting president of the leader of the free world. The lack of respect that he shows for the office is deplorable. Typically once an election ends, so does the name calling and blaming. Once an election ends, the elected official assumes a much more civil and responsible position. I erroneously thought Trump would do so when I heard him say, "President Obama is a good guy." and this is a direct quote during their pre-inaugural meeting. It turned out that Trump simply continues his campaign as if he is still in an election.
The power invested in the President of the United States is not one to be taken lightly: it is not reality television. A stroke of the pen that enacts a law can cause some people to suffer while others are helped. Shifting policies can cause people real and palpable hardships. The War Powers Act allows a sitting president to wage conventional warfare for a period of 90 days without congressional authority. This is serious business. Sending soldiers to a battlefield where they could be killed or maimed is a heavy responsibility and one that Trump is incapable of appreciating.
In 298 days, President Trump has made 1,628 false and misleading claims
you're _not_ blaming others for your transgressions. You're saying someone else did the same thing in order to divert attention away from you. It's a straw man argument but it goes unnoticed because of the way human brains work. You're building an association between what you're guilty of by accusing your opponent of it. That association gives people who want to believe you an out. Karl Rove rather famously got a draft dodger elected over a war vet who'd lost their legs with these tactics. By itself it's not enough to win elections, but combined with voter suppression, gerrymandering and other unethical tactics it works.
Remember, the fundamental goal is to get middle class and poor people to vote against their own economic interests and instead vote for the interests of the extreme rich. Making that happen requires all sorts of crazy things.
