‘Because I Hurt His Feelings’: President Trump Blocks Comedy Writer on Twitter

“OH. MY. EFFING. GOD. The President of the United States just blocked me on Twitter because I hurt his feelings.”

President Donald Trump can’t take a joke. Or at least, a lot of them, from one very funny comedy writer. 

Bess Kalb is an Emmy-nominated writer for Jimmy Kimmel Live! and wrote for the 2012 and 2016 Primetime Emmy Awards. “She contributed jokes for Hillary Clinton’s Al Smith Dinner speech, costing her the election,” her website, tongue-in-cheek, reads. HuffPost calls her “without doubt the best thing to regularly appear in Donald Trump’s Twitter mentions.”

Not any more.

Kalb doesn’t just mock Trump, she does so expertly.

And that’s just a tiny sample.

So here’s how Kalb responded:

And she noted President Trump has not bothered to mention the two heroes who lost their lives standing up to a White Supremacist this past Friday. They stood up by protecting two women, one of whom was wearing a hijab, from the man’s anti-Muslim rant atacking them. Trump has said nothing. And yet, if the attacker were Muslim we all know Trump would have been among the first to call it terrorism.
