I hear Trump is making a list of who's been naughty or nice.

They don't, of course. And considering the political climate right now, I think there'd be Trump supporters doing the same thing were the positions reversed.

There were people who did similar stuff both times when Obama got elected.

I dunno, i'd wait for confirmation before taking anything from Newscorps own Heat St too seriously. It's a conservative clickbait clearing house that was designed as a kind of conservative mirror image of sites like Raw Story and Buzzfeed but not as full tilt mental as Brietbart.

They do link to sources that are rather more reputable.

The problem is less that it's a few morons and more that it gives Trump supporters (and likely Trump himself, because he's a petulant, overgrown child) something to point at that "proves" that they're the good guys.

Well, yeah. But to be honest, those same people would use afternoon and evening thunderstorms as "proof". Remember, we're talking about the same people who point to blizzards as "proof" global warming is a hoax.
