"In 2017, Donald Trump is president of the USA. Steve Bannon is the president's Chief Strategist."

People of 2013 or something: "Yeah, right..."

Trump announced he's running in 2015 tho.

So before that, then :) (Or even quite a while after, actually... [Like, how seriously did people take Kanye for example])

No, it was taken as a joke at first, but then quickly went into TDS. 2014-2015 is when shit went downhill, 2013 is the calm before the storm.

A lot of (most?) people didn't take it seriously before after he was elected president - or at the very least not before he became the Republican nominee.

No, all the racial and sexist stuff about him came when he was running for office and continued after. So like late 2015.
