As a few readers pointed out on Twitter, Trump’s website has a quirk where you can insert whatever text you want in the header space by typing it into the url. The URL www.donaldjtrump/press-releases/archive led to a poop emoji. (The page seems to have since been taken down.)

And https://www.donaldjtrump.com/press-releases/archive/trump%20is%20bad%20at%20internet gets you:

What a delightful way to kill time between poll results!

Update, Nov. 8, 2016, at 5:54: Well, it was fun while it lasted. The Trump campaign seems to have fixed the bug, but not before the Internet created some great headlines.
