This is an interesting one.
It's easy to acknowledge that trump is a huge douche. You also have to acknowledge that about half of the USA voting public supported him.
It's easy to make the "even one nazi at the bar" argument online but it's kinda dumb in light of the huge number of supporters he had. Does that make the USA a nazi state? If so does that make the UN and nato? I think you would have a hard time assembling any group of folks as large as the community here without picking some of his supporters up. Is your local street/small town/college/whatever group nazi based because of that?
It doesn't help the political discussion at all to pretend a huge fraction of the population are beyond reason. Disagree with them all you want but they still exist and the world at large has to include them.
That all being said, I 100% support this change. Skimming that community and his posts makes its pretty obvious its just a troll and possibly an alt. If it was an organic community that would be different. This proposal is an excellent way to deal with a troll.

Being a student of history, it seems to happen often enough to caution against dismissing out of hand the possibility that it's not limited to imagination or pretending on behalf of those observing the behavior of a huge fraction of the population.
Would be as dangerous to pretend that the possibility of them being beyond reason isnt also there.
