I was #BlockedByTrump

It turns out I'm one of a large (and probably growing) group of people who have been blocked by Donald Trump on Twitter.

As I explained to CluedUp, which included me in an article called "How to get #blockedbytrump, I don't know exactly when the Snowflake in Chief decided he might melt if he saw one more word from me. But it was almost certainly after I repeatedly Tweeted at him to ask for the results of his (supposedly) big birther investigation in Hawaii that he boasted about in 2011.

That may make me one of the senior members of the #BlockedByTrump team because all that happened well before he became a presidential candidate. 

While it's rather satisfying to think that I got under Trump's skin, it's also rather frustrating not to have access to his Tweets unless I'm logged out of Twitter. Ditto for not being able to give an elected official a piece of my mind. So I was glad to know that a lawsuit has been filed to compel him to unblock those of us he has blocked and to prevent him from blocking others because of views expressed.

And, for the record, I am still annoyed that interviewers do not press him about that Hawaii investigation he claimed to have conducted.

By the way, the dog in the photo of me in the CluedUp article may look familiar. She is the model for our logo. Her name is Artemis.

Scooter, I believe it’s harder to get noticed, i.e. blocked, by Trump now. I was blocked several years ago, I think in 2012, when he probably had a lot fewer people tweeting at him. Also, I bugged him repeatedly about that Hawaii investigation. And, since he obviously either lied about having done it or else wants to cover up the results, my Tweets may have pushed a button beyond just an insult.

In other words, try Tweeting something that hits a nerve, like about Russia or Obama being a better president.

Welcome to my world. I’ve been blocked by Trump long before he was a candidate.

I’m disappointed. I haven’t been blocked despite repeatedly telling him to go f*ck himself.
