Donald Trump blocks Star reporter Daniel Dale on Twitter
On Sunday, Trump tweeted: “Being nice to Rocket Man” — Trump’s nickname for North Korean leader Kim Jong Un — “hasn’t worked in 25 years, why would it work now? Clinton failed, Bush failed, and Obama failed. I won’t fail.”
Dale retweeted Trump, commenting, “25 years ago, Kim Jong Un was eight,” in a post that was shared almost 80,000 times.
“I have been fact-checking every word of his for his entire presidency,” said Dale. “Weekly, I’ll call him out on a number of false claims but I don’t know he ever saw any of those.”
Dale said he saw the message Tuesday morning that he had been blocked by the president.
“I stared at it and just shook my head,” he said. “It was just strange and hilarious.”
This is the same local reporter who used to cover
Rob Ford, so he's used to this kind of stuff.
