The Donald Trump subreddit has mixed feelings about gutted internet privacy rules
For months, one of the firmest bases of Trump support online has been the /r/the_donald community on Reddit, a sometimes-embattled community drawn together to cheer on Donald Trump first as a candidate, and now as president.
