They have already released some of Donald Trumps personal information, they have hacked his website and the like. Anonymous likes april fools i guess, but this is not, this is not a joke. We may see Donald Trumps website go down, theyre famous for shutting websites down by overloading them or releasing information. This largely plays into Donald Trumps hands, this gives him another attacker to fight off and be a champion in the eyes of his supporters. The only thing that could be truly damaging to his brand is if they found some Financial Information that contradicted his own statements about his wealth. Theres talk about if hes as rich as he says it is. And that success is pretty fundamental to his brand. So if they were to find something accurate about this, contradicted him, that might rise above the level well wait and see what happens with that. In the meantime really quickly, wisconsin, its going to be a big test. Especially coming off of his abortion comments. How big of a test is this for him . This is huge.
