OMG.. I wasn't aware the way to piss off a Trump supporter was to wish them luck, and tell them that they now own it, and work to "make america great again"..

Amazing how many trump supporters just got angry at me for saying that!

I made it.. I'm even using my own server.. although there are a few "minor" issues still working out..
