King, who lives in Bangor, Maine, uses his Twitter account to criticize Trump regularly. 

And it's believed that he was blocked following his most recent tweets about the president's administration. 

Four hours before King was apparently blocked by Trump on Twitter, he tweeted: 'Trump's cabinet offers a postgraduate-level course in a**-kissing.'

He was referring to a meeting Trump had on Monday with his cabinet members, who each took a moment to gush over how much of an honor and privilege it is to serve alongside the president.

Lawyers for two Twitter users last week sent the White House a letter demanding they be un-blocked from the @realDonaldTrump account. 

But the White House didn't respond to a request for comment at the time.
