Ohio woman excellently trolls Trump from the grave

Americans are all very, very stressed out about the state of things, especially the presidency of Donald Trump. Except for Elizabeth "Liz" Smith of Norwalk, Ohio, who seems to be perfectly happy to be freed of the Trump presidency by virtue of passing into the Great Beyond.

Such is the claim made in her obituary, which also detailed Smith's rich, full life, including her decades-long involvement with local Girl Scouts organizations, her active membership in her church, and her love of the outdoors: "heli-hiking in the Canadian Rockies, white water rafting on the New River in West Virginia and the Snake River in Idaho."

But it's the last line in her life biography that's garnered notice: "Liz is smiling now, not to be living during the Trump Presidency."

Her daughter, Deborah Lucal, explained to the Sandusky Register that Smith had seen a similar line in another obituary and -- an active member of the Huron County Democratic Party and poll worker -- wanted to have the same posthumous fun.

Said Lucal of her mother's distaste for Trump: “She doesn’t like the man, she never has, thought he was a pompous ass.”

Of course, the obituary was posted online where it inevitably and unfortunately found the attention of one of Trump's Twitter Egg Army who had to find a way to ruin the glimmer of fun in Smith's death with a terrible comment.

May Smith rest in peace, may her family find comfort in her rich life and great sense of humor, and may Okirm Navalg stub their toe several times a day for eternity.
