The National Rifle Association is reportedly falling on hard times.

Many Twitter users have balked at the NRA’s assertion, which it made in a court filing. Comedian Chelsea Handler suggested it could “ask some of the Republicans they donated millions to for a loan.”
Other tweeters, meanwhile, sarcastically shared the “thoughts and prayers” trope that is often trotted out by political leaders following mass shootings:

"troll" used to be a derogatory term. Now people celebrate them. The internet, particularly Twitter, is causing a devolution of the human race.

I agree with you, Gop.
But I would be pleased to see the NRA disappear.

Trolling in this case is entirely appropriate.

... and if it is okay for the RW POTUS to be one why shouldn't we all be just like him, shouldn't we follow Trump's leadership to MAGA ?
