Donald Trump finds time to block critical people on Twitter despite promising to be ‘more presidential’
President-elect had said he was going to tone down his act but critical social media users say they are being silenced even after he won the White House last month
DONALD Trump has been blocking more people on Twitter despite promising to become “more presidential”.
Social media users have been posting pictures of messages telling them they now can’t see any of the President-elect’s tweets.
One user last week wrote: “I have been blocked by Donald Trump. Propaganda as a Fascist tool starts with controlling the narrative. Donald Trump allows no dissent.”
Other Twitter users took their ban with more humour. One said: “Oh my god, yes! Thanks Donald Trump.”
Another said: “Haha! I’ve been blocked by Trump! I’ve been blocked by Trump! Haha!”
