This doesn’t mean what Donald Trump thinks it means
“Keyboard warriors” are people who talk a big game on the internet but don’t do squat in the real world. It’s intended as a pejorative term. But don’t tell that to Donald Trump, who just unwittingly insulted his own base by hurling that term at them:

Thank you to all of my great Keyboard Warriors. You are better, and far more brilliant, than anyone on Madison Avenue (Ad Agencies). There is nobody like you!

Trump is right in one way, though. There is nobody like his creepy, obsessive, bigoted, delusional online supporters.
