What can not a president do on Twitter? The court just explained to Trump

The federal court ruled that President Donald Trump has no right to block critics on his Twitter, although the president defends that he has his own personal account and can do what he wants. This is a bit of a reality. Let's be honest - he prepared this fate himself .
The case is serious. According to the federal court, the president , blocking on Twitter people who disagree with him or make fun of him, does not just commit some kind of political faux pas, how much he breaks the constitution. All because Donald Trump has changed the role of Twitter so much in the public life of Americans.

Donald Trump, a policy with 280 characters

Donald Trump is a person who, thanks to the strength of his extraordinary personality, and some also called arrogance, has repeatedly bent the rigid rules of an old boring political game. It was the same this time. It was the 45th President of the United States who made Twitter something more than just a place to share his important thoughts, memes with cats and opinions about every latte on the home - work route. Donald Trump began to preside on Twitter full-time. His account is a stream of presidential appeals to the nation. It is not so much public as it is a public function.

And that's what the court drew attention to. The judges referred to the first amendment to the American Constitution. In the justification they stated that a person performing a public function and using social media as part of this function, can not exclude some citizens from public dialogue, even if they disagree with it, they made fun of his enormous impudence or smaller patter.

Freedom, Donku, in your home. Well, unless it's a White House

The Department of Justice is not impressed with the court's verdict and argues that Donald Trump 's account is his personal account and therefore blocking anyone on him does not violate any of the constitutional amendments. As far as I agree that every person should have full rights on their private account to block who they like, in the case of Donna Trump the problem is the definition of the privacy of the account. Separating the president and Donald Trump in the network of Donald Trump effectively hampers ... yes, you guessed it right, Donald Trump himself.

Keeping track of American news, it's hard not to get the impression that a large part of presidential policy takes place on his Twitter and it is difficult in this case to blame bad media, that they cross the boundaries between private and public. Donald Trump completely destroyed it with his tweets, announcing his political decisions for the first time, informing about the work of the cabinet or commenting on the sophisticated swad's internal and foreign policy. His account is boiling over political discussions on almost every topic (the advantage of having an opinion on each topic by the president).

Donald Trump could block anyone he wants in his private account about cats, but his current account is only in private theory. In practice, his statements are not only a state matter, but even an international one. Politicizing his own profile, he changed it into the center of the discussion on the matters of the country for good and for bad. And the first amendment applies to such discussions.
