A comedy writer claims that President Donald Trump blocked her on Twitter after she made a joke about his tweets about health care.

Bess Kalb, an Emmy-nominated Jimmy Kimmel Live writer, has regularly replied to Trump's tweets with jokes over the last several months, but it appears the president thinks she's taken it too far.

'OH. MY. EFFING. GOD. The president of the United States just blocked me on Twitter because I hurt his feelings. #MAGA,' she wrote on Twitter, attaching an image of Trump's blocked page.

She later added in a follow up, saying: 'From now on, there is only one Snowflake.'

Isn't it a violation of the 1st Am for the President to block someone just for disagreeing? SunSeeker May 2017 #1

Nah, don't think so. Beartracks May 2017 #2

Blocking prevents her from speaking out in that forum. SunSeeker May 2017 #5

It's not really a public forum RhodeIslandOne May 2017 #11

The platform is private, but Trump is "running" or managing his account. SunSeeker May 2017 #19

He's not blocking her speech at all. Ms. Toad May 2017 #20

How can we still see blocked tweets in his timeline? SunSeeker May 2017 #24

They aren't in his timeline Ms. Toad May 2017 #30

If you are blocked, people you cannot see your replies to his tweets. SunSeeker May 2017 #32

Why? SunSeeker May 2017 #25

It's a matter of understanding the first amendment bluecollar2 May 2017 #28

I understand the First Amendment. SunSeeker May 2017 #29

It's also his personal account, not the PotUS account. Bernardo de La Paz May 2017 #14

Shitler is on it on OUR time, hence those are our tweets. nt SunSeeker May 2017 #18

Wrong. Bernardo de La Paz May 2017 #22

It doesn't matter how much we pay him. It is his position, not pay, that is determinative. SunSeeker May 2017 #23

Does Trump have a sense of humor? bucolic_frolic May 2017 #10

He laughs at the jokes his Russian handler Lavrob makes in the Oval Office. Photos show him. . nt Bernardo de La Paz May 2017 #16
