Donald(4-F)Trump is facing a backlash on social media after reportedly blocking a liberal veterans group on Twitter.
VoteVets.org accused the president of blocking their account on Tuesday. The organization is a political action committee that describes itself as the largest progressive veterans group in America.

VoteVets frequently used Twitter to criticize Trump. Recently, they used the social media platform to claim that the president himself was a threat to national security.
The Knight First Amendment Institute recently alleged that it was unconstitutional for the president of the United States to block fellow Americans on Twitter. The group said his account “operates as a ‘designated public forum’ for First Amendment purposes.”
Many people were outraged that Trump had blocked the veterans group.
He’s such a delicate little dandy, isn’t he?

Wow. Even by @realDonaldTrump standards this is erratic and nonsensical.

He disrespected a Gold Star family, and now he blocks veterans who have served our country. I am so ashamed.

Funny, because @realDonaldTrump said he loves the Vets – I guess he only likes the ones who want a white nation?

Trump is a freaking coward.

This is disgraceful. Thank you for everything you do to advocate for vets.

We’re with you, not the orange one. Thanks for your service.

Wow. For someone who campaigned on taking care of our vets, this is astounding.

Unbelievable. The orange buffoon continues to be an embarrassment to our country. Thank you for everything you do.

A strong leader can handle hearing voices of dissent. He is not strong, nor is he anything close to a leader. He is weak.

He is quite the snowflake, isn’t he?

Absolutely despicable. What a sorry excuse for a human, let alone the so-called potus.

But he loves Veterans, to use them as a prop. Signed retired Veteran.

This from the person who says “nobody loves vets more than I do”. Sad! @realDonaldTrump
