A less known fact is that /r/The_Donald was created and moderated by a group loosely called “Nolibs” that have been pushing pro-Israel, pro-police propaganda for years through thousands of sock puppet accounts. They were in control of various subreddits and were heavily agenda driven.

It all fell apart for them a year or two ago though when they had internal problems and one of them came clean.

Their antics were closely followed on the subreddit /r/NoLibsWatch.

He's OUR guy...

Banned on the Donald thrice.

Once for mentioning Saudi Arabia weapon deals, another for mentioning Trump and connections to Mossad and another for mentioning some of his friends who were involved in 9/11 cover-up.

Mention Israel in a bad light and they will ban you, but then cry about how "liberals" censor.

Multiple forums have spawned from The_Donald, and not all of them have the same point of view. I'm in several.

But Trump is pro-Israel, so a sub that advertises itself as being for pro-Trumpers only is also going to be pro-Israel, and it's silly for anyone to object to that.
