MSNBC just had blistering coverage of Trump

After such an amazing Hillary speech, Ari along with two panel members systematically destroyed Donald Trump on foreign policy and talked about how many people will cross over to vote for Hillary, especially after his speech and his views on NATO. They brought up the Wiki leaks situation and how it looks like Putin wants Trump and how Trump would play right into Putin's hand.

Eye opening! The choice is clear.

And threatening them with ruin via law suits. This is how he does business.
This shit doesn't work when governments and treaties are involved. He doesn't understand this.

Seeks a modern day Mussolini (or at least a Hirohito) to play to his version of a Russian "Hitler"

Recently, I'm seeing a shed-load of trolling on social media and on ma$$ media websites.
There have been recent, numerous accounts detailing how Putin is using massive troll farms, and it doesn't take a degree in astrophysics to connect the dots between the Drumpf-Putin bromance and the tsunami of negative posts.
Most of us can read through these feeble attempts at digital dialogue, but the cognitively-impaired see this as affirmations of the Fear-Smear-Queer tactics that Drumpf's Orcs espouse.
So what should we do?
Engage them? I'm reminded of Mark Twain's advice about not sinking to their level.
Ignore them? That risks their gaining more cyber-support.
Any thoughts from the intelligence represented here?

Not to the point of destruction, because too many of his oligarch supporters actually own companies here, but he wants us out of the way in influence in Asia and Eastern Europe.
