Why does this judge disagree?
Because this judged called Trump's personal account a feed a public forum, not the entire platform.

We hold that portions of the @realDonaldTrump
account -- the “interactive space” where Twitter users may directly
engage with the content of the President’s tweets -- are properly
analyzed under the “public forum” doctrines set forth by the
Supreme Court, that such space is a designated public forum, and
that the blocking of the plaintiffs based on their political speech
constitutes viewpoint discrimination that violates the First
Amendment.

NAOMI REICE BUCHWALD UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE MEMORANDUM AND ORDER 17 Civ. 5205 (NRB) This case requires us to consider whether a public official may, consistent with the First Amendment, “block” a person from his Twitter account in response to the political views that person has expressed, and whether the analysis differs because that public official is the President of the United States. The answer to both questions is no.

They ruled that Trump can decide who gets to see his tweets and who cannot. Twitter can do as they please, but government entities on Twitter cannot.
Goddamn you're a fricking imbecile. Trump blocked someone from RESPONDING.

Which blocked that user from seeing his tweets. Feel free to read the entire ruling if you'd like.

Sp the interactive space where public officials are is the public forum?
So shadow banning R politicians would be illegal then.

Every tweet is publicly available from Trump. Even for those of us not on twitter.
Just search it.

"Shadow Banning" does not actually remove any content or communications. It keeps their name from auto-populating in the search field. Anyone who knows their twitter handle, has a link to their twitter page, or already follows them would see no difference in their account.

I know that, I'm just telling you the ruling. When you're logged into an account that is banned, I'm pretty sure you can't see his tweets.
The judge also ruled that being able to reply to him is protected speech. He's free to ignore it or even mute it, but he can't silencer the reply altogether by blocking it.

So if you ban random person then they can't interact with their politician.
It's a piss poor ruling from a filth judge

No. As usual CptBengal saw a headline he liked and ran face first in to his own arse by not reading further and rushing to the board with a 3 month old article that doesn't say what he thought it said.

People have to be allowed to respond to trump on twitter
Therefore twitter can't ban people
