How to Block or Unblock Someone on Twitter

Even though President Trump cannot block users on Twitter, that does not mean that you cannot do so. Twitter may be a wonderful platform for conversation, but sometimes heated disagreements can devolve into endless harassment of other users. The ability to block content is quite helpful in situations like this.
