This article is not for those people. This is for those of you who feel like: I already did all that! For four years! And he’s still back!
Desktop Browsing: Install the Trump Blocker extension for Chrome. We tried this. It works for blocking Trump headlines and you don’t have to unsubscribe from any of your favorite publications to live a Trump-free browsing existence.
Android phone browsing: Try adding Blocksite, which allows you to block specific keywords.
Instagram: A couple options. On Insta, you could hit the three dots on a Trump-related post, then hit either “Hide” or “Report” and, again, eventually the algorithm will get the hint. You could also try something more targeted: Go to your profile, hit the three lines at the top, then go to “Hidden Words,” then go to “Manage Custom Words and Phrases,” and go from there.
