What's that about? Who's behind it? I've never heard of such a thing, and I hope it backfires.

They just got a piece of my mind: "Are you serious? Since when does a supposedly reputable news outlet actively solicit praise from its readers for any public official, ever? Just aside from the fact that after wracking my brain I still can’t think of a single damn thing to say about Trump that would be even marginally “nice," the fact that you are actually asking people to do this is absurd, insulting and bizarre. I suspect this will backfire, bigly."
