Trump 'BLOCKS' Jimmy Kimmel Live writer on Twitter after she 'hurt his feelings'

[Ms. Toad]

20. He's not blocking her speech at all.

Essentially he's sticking his fingers in his ears and going, "la-la-la - I can't hear you." (Any tweet in which she tags him won't show up in his timeline.)

But just because he puts on his own blinders prevent her from speaking. Everyone else still sees her replies to him (although there will be an extra step required to reply, since she can't reply directly). It merely protectes his tender little eyes from having to read her commentary.

(It also prevents his speech from being automatically gathered in the blocked person's timeline - but there are other ways to gather his speech.)

Not to mention that she can easily create a second account and reply directly to him from that second account.
