Sure Bernie. Its your call as to what deserves to be trending. And whatever you shoot to trending deserves to be on trending. Youre simply showing people that Bernie is the "content god" in absence of any Steemit.inc involvement and that no one is stupid enough to question that because of the lengths youre willing to go and the power you hold.
You could have just as easily flagged every single commenter here and said something like:"well guys this post was supposed to prove a point that you shouldnt flock in support to a 1 sentence post just because its trending".
And no one would bat an eye.
Because youre Steemits greatest abstract artist.
