SEE ALSO: 'Trumpgrets' is the Tumblr page for Trump supporters who just can't take him anymoreThe creators of the plug-in, RealDonaldContext, warn that the extension is still in development. Still, RealDonaldContext works.
Instead of having to visit thePostdirectly, users can simply read a brief summary below the tweet. Some tweets do, however, redirect users back to the site.
