When, in the course of human events, it becomes necessary to drop a #sickburn...

Historians may look back someday at the 2016 presidential election as the campaign of the Twitter egg and marvel how President-for-Life Donald Trump permanently changed the tone of politics to that more commonly found in middle-school playgrounds.

Editor's note: Donald Trump is a serial liar, rampant xenophobe, racist, misogynist, birther and bully who has repeatedly pledged to ban all Muslims -- 1.6 billion members of an entire religion -- from entering the U.S.
