President Donald Trump cannot block his critics on his Twitter TWTR, +1.17% feed, a federal appeals court ruled on Tuesday.

As the Washington Post writes, the decision from the New York-based appeals court upholds an earlier ruling that Trump violated the First Amendment when he blocked users critical of him or his policies. The case was brought by seven people who were blocked after posting disapproving comments in 2017.

The court got it wrong. These are not 'critics' - have you seen these posts? These are extremely vulgar, deranged tweets, spewing extreme hate! We all should be for CIVIL DISCUSSION of issues but anyone should be able to block anyone that only spews hate & vulgarities!

But Twitter can and does block critics of disgusting left and despicable anti US swamp.

As it should be. The President needs to be held accountable - to the public, if nothing else.

This should apply to people in congress as well correct?

Trump shares fake Reagan quote praising himPresident Trump retweeted a photo of himself shaking hands with Ronald Reagan with a fake quote attributed to Reagan that read, 'I felt like I was the one shaking hands with a president.' The account that originally posted the meme was later suspended. That’s lol funny and horribly sad all at once. I feel like Reagan would view Trump much like George Bush does. What will it take for the Dems to do their job and impeach Trump? Unfortunately, the VP and the Cabinet are too self-serving to do their jobs and remove Trump, but the Dems?
