Donald Trump's Reddit AMA was not all that great

After dominating Wednesday's political news cycle with his direct appeal to Russia to intervene in the US presidential race, Donald Trump held a Reddit Ask Me Anything (AMA) that he promised would be great.

"This is going to be SO huge and I'm looking forward to answering your questions," Trump wrote in a post before the AMA started. "I'm doing this in flight to visit the great people of Toledo, OH, so Internet connection might be spotty — I promise you, I'll answer all the questions I can."

Unfortunately for excited redditors, that amounted to eight questions.
