I don't even have a twitter, but it is clear conservatives hate the constitution and freedom of speech.
As to twitter being an official platform of the president, trump himself made it quite clear, and his secretary of state.

Do you support the president blocking people from communicating with him on his main platform?

i would love to answer your question directly, but i believe your question is somewhat flawed.
this is not his "main platform". twitter is a hobby and not needed in any way to fulfill his job. he just likes to use it, and has a right to use it.

do you really think trump has time to read every tweet that comes in? there is a good chance a lot of these accounts are mass spamming or part of a bot system. being on this site you should know how easy that is.

to rewrite your question so i can answer it...

Have a read.
It is not just a hobby, he has made it an official platform of the potus and has confirmed this to be the case.
https://edition.cnn.com/2017/06/06/politics/trump-tweets-official-statements/index.html
White House press secretary Sean Spicer said Tuesday President Donald Trump's tweets are indeed official statements.

"The President is the President of the United States, so they're considered official statements by the President of the United States," Spicer said, when asked during his daily briefing how they should be characterized.

So again, should the president be able to shit on the constitution and block twitter critics?

do you ever read the articles under the title?

A U.S. National Archives spokesperson has said that posted tweets are considered presidential records. The National Archives has since requested that the White House save deleted or altered tweets, but has not stated a position on whether they are definitely presidential records. I believe the Presidential Records Act should apply, for several reasons.

reading again. i'm having to ask you something. is trump blocking people from seeing his tweets, or blocking people from tweeting him?

Spicer did not indicate whether that included both of the President's Twitter handles: @realDonaldTrump and @POTUS.

If he is blocking people from tweeting him and he is using an official channel which is what he made twitter, he is violating the first amendment.

This means nothing. JUDGE DIDN'T PASS DOWN AN ORDER, because she would probably be fired if she did.

If under the 1st amendment people have the right to dis Trump, then under that same 1st amendment, Trump has the right to block them.
Now if this was say a newspaper we were discussing and Trump tried to silence the newspaper, there would be a 1st amendment issue involved. But twitter is not a newspaper or anything even remotely official.


This is just Hillarites, growling in the morning. Big fat nothing burger.
