All he has to do is write one tweet: "Screwworms are the worst! No one likes them and with my powerful leadership we will destroy them even more!" Immediately lots of people will start campaigning to restore the pests to their previous range and the rest of the world too.

Why is it so important to fantasise imaginary scenarios about your idol-of-hate rather than conjure up effective means by which things can improve in society?

Derangement syndrome is a reality. Not everything bad that happens is a result of the scary orange puppet. A lot of times, its mass ignorance that causes the worst ills in society.

If you seek an "improvement in society", you might try reading more carefully. My comment was obviously making fun of the "deranged": to whit, people crazy enough to like screwworms. I have no opinions of the current president that don't extend to any other politician. They all like war, so I don't like any of them.

Have a nice day.

I don't remember Trump being mentioned in the original article, and it seems more like you had an opportunity to vent on your personal issue, so you went for it. Screwworm removal improved society; members of the hate-Trump cult don't.

Dude it was a joke. Read the thread: I didn't bring him up in the first place. You might find the world more agreeable if you were less intent on your impressions of other people's "personal issues". If you think I'm in a "hate cult" you have no idea what is going on.

This over-deep thread is why jokes are discouraged in HN comments.

It helps if they're funny. This one's just a mess all the way through.
