My Pinterest page filled with Trump spam....

I enjoy Pinterest. This is awful. The more I report the spam, the more this garbage shows up.

I admit I do not use it much, but I have used it more often during the last few weeks of shelter in place, mostly for recipes. I do notice if I like or click on something random like a picture of an old sewing machine base, suddenly my feed changes to include way too many of similar images. I understand why, but one image was enough!

Perhaps by clicking on a Trump image, you unleashed the pro- Trump algorithm? Start clicking and liking other images and ignore the Trump ones and they should start to go away??
