Didn't the courts rule it illegal for Trump to block followers on twitter?

Am I supposed to believe that it's legal for twitter to block all of Trump's messages?
Based on that precedent, I can't see how a law suit by Trump against Twitter would not win.

Is it yesterday again? Do we need to have this conversation about misunderstanding the First Amendment for the umpteenth time?

Well, the first ruling was solely politically motivated.
If Trump brought a suit; they’d have no problem making a second ruling that was also politically motivated.

Company that is governed by commerce clause and the SEC, “we’re a private company we can do what we want!!!”

I think the ruling basically said that Trump was using the platform to deliver presidential messages, hence it was effectively official use. By blocking people he was preventing them from seeing the official messaging.
Twitter basically solved the problem for him by removing the platform, but I don't think they'd fall under the same ruling.

Too lazy to look it up but I thought the issue was that it was "the government" in the form of Trump's Twitter account, squelching speech (certain comments responding to Trump) based on content. Therefore, 1A problem.
Twitter, a private company, limiting speech =/= 1A problem, though there could be other legal concerns.
