What happened
On July 27, 2016, during the Democratic National Convention, Donald Trump did an AMA not on r/IAmA but on the pro-Trump subreddit r/The_Donald, where moderators screened participants and removed dissent. He addressed Obamacare, immigration, voter fraud and NASA in a notably benign session.
