Pres Trump has been blocking people who are critical of him on Twitter. Is that a violation of the First Amendment or do you feel he should be able to do that? https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/morning-mix/wp/2017/06/07/trump-blocked-some-people-from-his-twitter-account-is-that-unconstitutional-as-they-say/?utm_term=.9b5d15bbbe91

SFC Kelly Fuerhoff - If someone not affiliated with the executive branch and specifically the White House decided that they wanted to use the White House Press room to make their statement, is President Trump required to allow it? After all that is where official statements are made. The simple answer is No!

Ketchup on his steak, two scoops of ice cream, and now Twitter. This is just silly. He's not blocking anyone from exercising their free speech on Twitter, just blocking them from trolling his account.

It's twitter, people block other people all the time, people can say what they want, that doesn't mean we are required to listen.
