Doxxing is the act of widely publishing someones private information - personal email or phone numbers with the intent of inconveniencing them or letting people know where they live.
The progressive website Gawker just published Donald Trump's personal cellphone number. And Donald nailed them - perfect retaliation - from The Blaze:
Gawker Published Donald Trump’s Number to Annoy Him — the Next Day, the GOP Candidate Made Sure Their Plan Backfired
A day after Gawker published his personal cellphone number, Donald Trump pulled out a trick of his own to get even.
The billionaire businessman and 2016 Republican presidential candidate tweeted out the number Tuesday to encourage his more than 3 million social media followers to give him a call.
“Hi, this is Donald Trump and I’m running for the presidency of the United States of America,” Trump says in the greeting. “With your help and support, together, we can make America truly great again. Visit me on Twitter at @realdonaldtrump and check out my campaign website at www.donaldtrump.com. Hope to see you on the campaign trail. We’re going to do it.”
In other words, he turned Gawker’s stunt into a way to reach potential voters with the equivalent of a campaign ad.
That is how you do business. Take lemons and make lemonade. One of the comments was perfect:
Trump is like Tom Sawyer and Gawker is painting his fence ! ! !
Heh - Trump is living inside their head rent-free.
