Hit Trump where it hurts (his Twitter account)
Even if you don't follow Donald Trump online, these digital activists have a way for you to block the president on his favorite platform.
Yup, that would be Twitter -- the president's preferred method of communicating with his constituents, the press and world leaders.
These anonymous activists are tired of Trump using poorly crafted, misspelled 140-character messages to attack people online. That's why they started "Block the Bully."
The group is hoping to put a big dent in @realDonaldTrump's follower count, which currently sits at 26.6 million. Ultimately, the goal is to "send him the message that the American public will no longer be bullied."
Based on Trump's affinity for large crowds and boasting about his popularity, there's a good chance he keeps tabs on that number and cares if it goes down.
Through the site, people can unfollow and block him. For those who aren't already following our tweeter-in-chief, the app lets you briefly follow Trump just so you can immediately unfollow him.
Simple, yet effective.
