Fragile Donald Trump can’t handle London backlash, begins blocking people on Twitter again

Dear Palmer Report readers, we all understand the difficult era we're heading into. Major media outlets are caving to Trump already. Even the internet itself and publishing platforms may be at risk. But Palmer Report is nonetheless going to lead the fight. We're funding our 2025 operating expenses now, so we can keep publishing no matter what happens.

Donald Trump’s response to the London terror attack might be the worst initially response that any modern U.S. President has ever had to any major world event. The backlash has come fast and furious from all sides, including negative responses on Twitter. So how is Trump working to repair the damage he’s done to himself and the United States? By blocking people on Twitter who are mean to him.

This isn’t the first time, of course. Last weekend Donald Trump also began blocking a few prominent critics, shortly after he had tweeted a complaint about how his social media adventures are interpreted. That blocking spree seemed to have stopped with just a small handful of people. But now Trump is at it again, blocking people who pointed out that his response to the London attack was idiotic. Joe Papp, who identifies himself as an anti-doping advocate, cyclist, author & speaker, posted this tweet on Sunday revealing that Trump had blocked him:

That prompted Tom Coates from the company ThingTon to reveal that he’s also been blocked by the person holding the office of President of the United States:

Of course this comes just one day after Donald Trump’s sons Eric and Donald Jr. began their own blocking antics on Twitter (link). This raises the question of whether Trump’s Twitter account is now being managed by his sons, or if perhaps all three of them are now taking bad advice from the same social media strategist.
