The president likes to dish it out via social media, but it seems he can’t take it, with author Stephen King joining the list of those #BlockedByTrump

Donald Trump is quick to press the tweet button, but it seems he is also happy to hit the block button, too. Stephen King was not particularly horrified to find out he could no longer view Trump’s tweets, having been blocked on Twitter by the US president this week. The prolific horror author sarcastically responded to the situation saying: “I may have to kill myself.” King is in good company after being shut out of the president’s social media profile. Here are a few of the others to share the fate under the hashtag #BlockedByTrump:

• Songwriter and transparency campaigner Holly O’Reilly risked Trump’s ire after tweeting a gif of Pope Francis giving the president a disapproving look. “I think that the pope tweet was probably was the clincher,” she told Time magazine. O’Reilly has launched a legal case, backed by free-speech lawyers, to be unblocked by the president, claiming that Twitter is a designated public forum and as new communication platforms are developed, it is essential “we don’t lose our ability to participate in our democracy or exercise our First Amendment right.” Sad!!! rating: 4/5

• For Forbes columnist Rob Szczerba, it was a joke about ice-cream that earned him a place in the blocked by Trump club. Teasing him about his infamous “covfefe” typo, Szczerba wrote: “I heard #covfefe is a new flavor from Ben & Jerry’s. But it’s mostly just nuts!” Sad!!! rating: 2/5

• Writer and occasional Huffington Post contributor Tony Posnanski found himself blocked after he tweeted: “Eating Miracle Whip with a spoon has a higher approval rating than Donald Trump.” Sad!!! rating: 4/5

• Parental advice also isn’t allegedly welcomed by the president. Jules Sulzdaltsev, a journalist based in San Francisco, shared screenshots of being shut out by Trump after saying: “I mean this sincerely you NEED to spend more time with Barron instead of golfing every single weekend!” Sad!!! rating: 2/5

• Like father like son, Eric Trump is also no stranger to the block button. The president’s third child allegedly blocked writer Talia Jane after she tweeted him a picture of his own lips. However, Talia boasts an accolade few can match: she is not only blocked by Eric, but by Donalds Senior and Junior. Sad!!! rating: 5/5
