If Trump is using his twitter account for official Presidential correspondence to Americans (as Spicer says he is) then blocking opposition members infringes on their Constitutional rights. If Trump is tweeting as a private citizen, block away, but he can't have it both ways. No one can convince this cement-head that "tweets" are infantile and Un-Presidential. Tweety bird doesn't see it that way though, and will continue his annoying and ridiculous tweet-storms whenever he likes. His assholiness has spoken!
