Despite promises that Donald Trump would show us a more presidential side of his personality, the president-elect has continued to make headlines with offensive and inflammatory statements on Twitter, and the latest Twitter controversy began when he started blocking people.
Recently, the future president of the United States went through and blocked several people who criticized or disagreed with him, and when those who were blocked started to notice, they took to Twitter to post screenshots of the blocked page.
Some found the humor in the situation and wore the blocked message as a badge of honor, while others saw it as a terrifying crackdown on free speech and a way for Trump to silence critics.
Check out some of the Twitter reactions below.
