is There a Way to Delete All Text Messages Containing Certain Words?

I get dozens of messages each day from the Trump campaign.  Thia is annoying and it takes a long time to block and delete each one.

    1. I do not see that on any menu. Is that only on the non-free version?

      Delete
    2. In Gmail there is - in the web browser version. Select a message, click on more (3-dots on the right), select Block

      Delete
  2. Apple Mail supports this class of rule:

    If [any|all] of the following conditions are met:
    [...|Message content|...] [contains|...]
    ...
    ...
    Perform the following actions:
    [Delete message|...]

    Brackets indicate a choice in a dropdown list

      In the first version, I put "text" between angle brackets, which apparently was considered an HTML tag and disappeared.
