the rulings have been consistent you cant block people from reading or commenting.
And since anyone can make a new Twitter account and voice their opinion, do they have some constitutional right to have their main Twitter handle with all of its followers be able to reply/dm Trump?

I could see this being applied to the @POTUS account since thats technically the official account of the president, but @realDonaldTrump is his personal account that he's had for years before even running for office.

It's an issue of his own making, he CHOSE to use that account for political purposes. And what he did before being elected is irrelevant. He wasn't part of the government until after taking office and could discuss his future policies and ban whomever he wanted, but once in office the rules change. HE did this, he could have switched over to using the @POTUS account , but chose not to.

I think their point is that it's not just anyone's twitter account
Yup.
He's a person without the same rights as you and me. Seems fair
To go along with the same opinion HBM would agree.
Anyone looking into his garbage would agree.
Anyone tapping his phone lines would agree.
Abuse his rights because..."He's different."

No offense intended, but you’re just sharing your opinion.
And that’s fine.
But don’t portray that opinion as being any more valid than every other opinion here.
Bottom line: No one has a clue, and this could all change tomorrow.

Wouldn't TWITTER be the Public Forum?
I'd say the ACCOUNT is the personal voice.
So, on Twitter:
Trump says "YAY" on his account
Opposition says "BOO" on Oppo's account.
That seems fair. Hell, even on TV or radio..."equal time" means the same amount of time...not on at the same time.

Incorrect, my opinions are educated and rooted in facts, unlike most opinions here and thus carry more weight.
Not every ruling that goes away you don't like is some judge overstepping their bounds.
Here is the written ruling from the original case in which a federal court ruled against the politician who blocked a citizen from seeing and posting on her page.

Oh and lookie here , the judge in that case was a Reagan appointee

O'Reilly said that she was not seeking to be unblocked to read "stupid tweets" by Trump, but instead to read more consequential ones by the president, and to have her responses to him visible to other people.
This is what it’s all about. They want to use the president’s audience to advertise their own stupid opinions instead of actually being worth listening to on their own.

Why do people sue when a baker doesn't want their money rather than just going to one that does?
People are sad and pathetic.
I threatened to sue Bernie if he didn't unblock me on Facebook because I'm doing the rest of America a favor by constantly pointing out that this socialist retard never answers direct question.

But issued no order to that effect because a judge has not authority over someone's twitter account, so it means nothing except the MSM can rejoice about their non victory.

I already posted the link to the case from early 2017 which set the precedent.
The sad and very pathetic thing is most of you idiots would be rejoicing if it was President Hillary Clinton and she got told by a court that she couldn't block people from her "personal" Twitter.
Yall are stupid, hypocritical, and transparent.

Why? Twitter and FB deny access to certain comments and posters all the time.
A company denying access is significantly different than the president blocking access to public comments he makes.
Idk why this is so difficult for others to understand.
