I have to speak the unfortunate truth here:

The reason Trump and his campaign people (who we do know lurk) can't post or be active on this site is because the moderators and site operators are anonymous. There's no Jack Dorsey or Steve Huffman, for example, as the front man or person who everyone answers to.

Now, there's a total valid reason for this, because if anyone DID become the public face of T_D, that person would be instantly crucified, have their life torn upside down, become the #1 hated man in American Media overnight. That's too much of a burden for any one person to endure.

But unfortunately, without someone who can be held publicly accountable, Trump and others cannot risk things blowing up in their face if something goes wrong.

Even though it had the same people as Moderators when T_D was on Reddit, there was still the entire team of Reddit administrators who could, if necessary, step in and take action in an emergency. There was accountability.

If T_D wants to grow beyond a 4chan-type underground information network, it will eventually have to find someone who is both:

a) trustworthy enough to fully support Trump and not be a RINO or traitor, and

b) be so squeaky clean that there is absolutely no dirt on them whatsoever

We have many wonderful mods but even among themselves there is anonymity and self-protection at work to ensure that someone with bad intentions can't infiltrate and do whatever it takes to ruin their lives.

All we can do is hope that someone who is both a strong enough public supporter already and rich enough to defend themselves with a team of lawyers will offer to "buy" T_D and then become that public face it needs while still giving the existing mods the freedom to run things as they have been.
