Setting something Trump-related on fire seems to be the only way to expunge his awful existence, even if it doesn’t really.
At around 3PM South African time, Donald Trump appears to wake up and begin his tweeting rampage, the topics of which are generally quite predictable.
While we can laugh it off, those in the States must be feeling a similar amount of frustration to ours with Jacob Zuma – and one person made their frustration pretty clear by creating a Twitter account called @burnedyourtweet.
Every time Trump has something to say in 140 characters or less, the account replies to each tweet with a short video showing a robot printing the tweet and burning it.
The actions of the robot, which is made up of a Zippo, ashtray, claw, scissors and printer, is oddly soothing:

Only two days old, the account has already racked up more than 18 000 followers, clearly gaining the approval of the anti-Trump Twitterverse.
Although the owner of the account – and robot – has yet to come forward, it’s clear that if Trump keeps to his schedule, the person is going to be changing that ashtray quite frequently.
Trump, on the other hand, is yet to respond, but if his feelings on burning the American flag is anything to go by, we can be sure he won’t be too pleased.
