How to Block Trump News on Reddit (2-Minute Setup, 2026)

A two-minute setup that wipes Trump-related posts from your Reddit feed across r/all, r/popular, and every subreddit you browse — with the keyword list and the right extension.

Last updated May 25, 2026

To block Trump news on Reddit in 2026, install the free Ultimate Reddit Filter extension, paste a Trump keyword preset (trump, maga, white house, gop, doj) into the Keywords tab, and enable comment filtering. The whole setup takes under two minutes and works on both old and new Reddit.

TL;DR

  • Install Ultimate Reddit Filter (free, Chrome + Firefox).
  • Paste the Trump keyword preset into the Keywords tab.
  • Turn on comment filtering — political subthreads bleed into apolitical posts.
  • Reload Reddit. Matching content disappears immediately.

What you’ll need

  • Chrome or Firefox (Edge works too).
  • Two minutes.

The setup

  1. Install Ultimate Reddit Filter from the Chrome Web Store or Firefox Add-ons. It’s free, open source, and has no telemetry.

  2. Click the extension icon in your browser toolbar.

  3. Open the Keywords tab.

  4. Paste this starter blocklist, one term per line:

    trump
    maga
    white house
    gop
    doj
    scotus
    trump jr
    trump 2024
    trump 2026
    trump 2028
  5. Switch to the Settings tab and enable Filter comments too.

  6. Save and reload Reddit. Matching posts collapse instantly. Matching comments are hidden where they appear.

Why this preset

The list uses substring matches, so:

  • trump catches “Trump,” “trumpism,” “anti-Trump,” “Trump Jr.,” and “pre-Trump era.”
  • maga catches “MAGA,” “MAGAt,” “MAGA-aligned.”
  • gop catches “GOP,” “GOP-led,” “House GOP.”
  • doj and scotus catch the institutional shorthand that often replaces the name.

What this won’t do

  • Won’t filter image posts where Trump isn’t named in the title. Pure-image political posts on r/all leak through occasionally. Add a subreddit-level block for r/PoliticalHumor and r/WhitePeopleTwitter to cover the worst offenders.
  • Won’t work on the Reddit mobile app. The app doesn’t support extensions. On Android, use the Kiwi or Yandex browser; on iOS, use Orion.
  • Won’t filter Reddit notifications. If you subscribe to political subs, you’ll still get notified.

Going further

  • Add subreddit blocks. In the Subreddits tab, add r/politics, r/PoliticalDiscussion, r/Conservative, r/PoliticalHumor.
  • Use relabel mode. Instead of hiding posts entirely, relabel them as [filtered: politics] — you’ll know that something was hidden without seeing what.
  • Export your list. Use the export feature in the extension settings to back up your blocklist before browser updates.

If it’s not working

  • Posts still appearing? Check Settings — “Filter on r/all” should be on. Reload after every change.
  • Comments still visible? “Filter comments too” toggle is off by default in some versions. Turn it on.
  • Mobile not working? The Reddit mobile app cannot run extensions. You need a Chrome-extension-compatible browser.

What to do next

Install Ultimate Reddit Filter, paste the preset above, reload Reddit. Done.

Frequently asked questions

Common questions — click any to expand.

Yes. Use a targeted keyword list with Trump-specific terms (trump, maga, mar-a-lago) rather than a broad politics preset. Add or remove subreddits to match your tolerance level. Ultimate Reddit Filter lets you refine the list at any time.
