Donald Trump may have lost his biggest war yet — his war on Twitter critics!
It’s no big secret that the president has blocked dozens of people for criticizing him or even just poking fun at him since he took office, including celebs like Chrissy Teigen and Rosie O’Donnell.
But back in May, a federal judge ruled that Trump’s blocks were unconstitutional because his Twitter feed was a public forum that had been used in the course of the appointment of officers, removal of officers, and “the conduct of foreign policy.”

Yup, Trump’s Twitter diarrhea finally came back and bit him in the ass. On Tuesday, those who had been blocked by POTUS relished over the fact that he (or whoever has access to his account) was forced to unblock users.
While Trump unblocked the seven plaintiffs in the lawsuit filed by the Knight First Amendment Institute, there are still plenty of users he hasn’t unblocked — like his arch nemesis, O’Donnell, who tweeted:
still blocked … #cowardTRUMP pic.twitter.com/lhwO9Rh2GR

Sorry, Rosie.
Several others were (un?)fortunate enough to get unblocked, and celebrated the victory by promptly blocking Trump from their Twitter feeds. Read a few of the funny responses (below).
Thank you to the Knight Foundation for legally forcing @realDonaldTrump to take out his sticky little phone, scrunch his nose, open Twitter, search my name, shout “Do I seriously have to fucking do this,” be told yes by Dan Scavino, take a deep breath, and click “Unblock.”
