The hactivist group Anonymous is once again targeting Donald Trump in a new video, issuing a worldwide “call to arms” to take down the GOP presidential hopeful.

“Dear Donald Trump, we have been watching you for a long time, and what we see is deeply disturbing,” says the Anonymous member in the new video, which also features video clips of the candidate’s more controversial public statements.
“Your inconsistent and hateful campaign has not only shocked the United States of America, you have shocked the entire planet with your appalling actions and ideals,” says the Anonymous rep. "You say what your current audience wants to hear, but in reality you don’t stand for anything except for your personal greed and power. This is a call to arms.”

The group has posted a message on Twitter requesting assistance to help take down TrumpChicago.com on April 1, as well as the presidential candidate's personal and business websites.
Trump was previously targeted by the organisation last year after he called for a ban on Muslims travelling into the US.
Anonymous has also threatened to expose embarrassing information about Trump. At least they won't have to look very hard to find that.
I posted this because I APPROVE* of Anonymous’ actions: they do what I cannot do.
If I had half their skills I’d be doing something. So when they state their intent to do these things I — and likely millions of other people — approve.
Politicians are not helping. Politicians are standing by with their thumbs up their collective ass acting like nothing can be done about Mein Trumpf. The GOP appears to be saying “We’re powerless” while Trump embodies EVERY LAST GODDAMNED THING that republicans hold dear. The GOP are complete fucking liars and one is simply stupid to believe a goddamned thing they say.
No, I am unsure what they can actually do: shutting down his electronic communications seems doable and desirable, if only to fuck with him. Setting off the sprinklers in his tacky mansion-like penthouse would be cool: ruin his tacky lair for him as metaphor for what he is going to do to a hundred million Americans or more.
Frankly, I don’t care how intense Anonymous’s actions against Trump are: the man is a fucking threat to the world around us.
Trump has repeatedly said the U.S. should bring back waterboarding and other forms of torture that are “a hell of a lot worse,” even though they constitute international war crimes. He’s also called for other violations of international law, including deliberately wiping out terrorists’ families.
The German Vice Chancellor joins a chorus of overseas voices warning against Trump’s particularly brash brand of racism and xenophobia. The Mexican government passed a ban this week to keep Trump from entering the country, fed up with his racist rhetoric about Mexican immigrants and continued insistence he will force Mexico to pay for a wall. German publication Der Spiegel calls Trump “the world’s most dangerous man.”
Even far-right politicians in other nations aren’t on board with the rise of Trump. The leader of a far-right Swedish nationalist party that began in the Neo-Nazi movement told Breitbart News Trump would be bad news for the world. “If Donald Trump won… I don’t think he will, I hope he doesn’t,” he said. “He is very good at making speeches but as a politician and a world leader? No, I don’t think that’s a very good idea.”
Clearly, American voters cannot be trusted to do the right thing. They and the GOP have put Trump where he is.
I am unsure the the Democratic party will choose the nominee that more people will vote for than Trump.
Therefore: I fully support whatever Anonymous can do to blunt this threat to the US and the world.
