Trump blocks Twitter accounts that disagree with him
RE: Trump blocks Twitter accounts that disagree with him
#2
I think there is an unresolved legal question as to whether Trump's Twitter (which has been used for policy announcements) qualifies as "official communication from the office of the president". I'm sure there's a group of lawyers still figuring out how to take that one to a court for a ruling. Not that Trump will recognize the authority of the judge to preside ("too Mexican", "too female", something.)

Trump has his exposure to the world heavily filtered, it doesn't surprise me that he cuts off the "negative waves" (i.e., the truth) when it isn't telling him positive, affirming things about his the-best-ever, everybody-loves-him, yugeness.
"It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it." - Aristotle
"Being told to be 'open minded' about something is usually a code for 'you're not going to like this, but I want to subject you to it anyway'. Conversely, being told that you are 'closed-minded' is generally a means of asserting that 'I don't like the fact that you're proving me wrong, so I will pretend that your failure to agree with my argument is a philosophical deficiency'." - RationalWiki
