Now Trump isn't even allowed to block people on Twitter! Some New York judge.......I wonder why Obama was allowed to block people but when it's the left crying about it to left wing judges suddenly it's relevant. I would have thought that this was an infringement of his personal rights as an actual citizen....but there you go...This judge sees it the other way around. It will be interesting to see how this develops if he contests it.....he could of course just mute people but I think he should contest this. Edited by Stirlingsays (24 May 2018 5.04am) I did not get this. If it is an official government site then then to a point fair enough. If it's Trump's private feed then surely its his right. Many of the people he has blocked disagreed with his politics so you could say he doesn't like criticism. However the report I saw also said there were many abusive comments, so he's not allowed to block that? Even if it was a government site you don't have to give people the right to abuse you.

You actually see the organic, real replies on his Facebook posts. Edited by Penge Eagle (24 May 2018 8.41am)
The POTUS is also a private citizen. So he should have access to all the same laws as does a private citizen. The account he uses to tweet is the same account he used before he became president.

Edited by Penge Eagle (24 May 2018 8.41am) I don't agree with it funnily enough, they can still see what he tweets by logging out or using a public computer or device. I wouldn't be surprised if Trump simply ignores this ruling. Twitter unfortunately does promote all ticked and supposedly widely followed accounts posts to the top. They just leave them in chronological order, or allow you decide how they're ordered at least.

No, it's the left-wing 'blue ticks' are always directly underneath – not the conservative 'blue tick' pundits who support him. Funny that it's every time.

Nobody would do a deal with Trump, he is all washed up. Countries will be polite but thats all.

I'm referring to anything anyone puts on twitter, not Trump specifically, and it'll still be because they're more followed or more retweeted than the other ones you are talking about. If he replied to someone/something his would probably be directly underneath whatever it was too.

Still not a republican, yet far less a modern day democrat.....Mind you Trump isn't really either. You know, some people should flick through this thread and read the failures within it predicting Trump being impeached on collusion.....certain they were. The failures predicting that Trump would trash the economy. All gone now.....fled the thread as it were. Trump has been improving the stats of the US economy significantly. The Dow is at record levels. unemployment is at near-record lows. Brings NK to the table. Stands up for US trade. Yet wasn't the left saying he was going to destroy the economy and the world? Still waiting for Putin/Trump collusion conspiracy that they convinced everybody about. Edited by Stirlingsays (11 Jun 2018 3.13am) B..b..b..b..but

Interesting article for an alternative, possibly more rational isolationist take on the NK meeting
1. There is a secret (and unenforceable) deal beneath what is reported. You may think this is good or bad, but for heaven’s sake don’t just be judging the press release. 2. If they didn’t actually agree to anything, that is fine. 3. I am reading so much yelping about how Trump “legitimized” Kim. The status quo ex ante simply was terrible, and there is no reason to think this change is for the worse. Trump’s great “virtue” in this regard was simply to be some mix of ignorant/disrespectful of the prior “expert consensus” and approach the problem afresh with a rather direct transactional and person-centered, personality-centered mentality. 4. As I tweeted: “Isn’t the whole point of the “deal” just to make them go visit Singapore? The real spectacle is not always where you are looking. And I hope someone brought them to the right chili crab place.” The goal is to show the North Korean leadership there is a better way than playing the Nuclear Hermit Kingdom game. We won’t know for some time whether this has succeeded. Here is good FT coverage on this point. There are in fact numerous signs that the North Koreans are considering serious reforms. Of course those could be a feint, but the probabilities are rising in a favorable direction. Economic cooperation with South Korea is increasing at an astonishing pace. 5. The chance that North Korea someday becomes an unruly version of an American client state has gone up. The chance of a kind of faux, “on paper” Korean reunification has gone up too. 6. No, North Korea isn’t giving up its nuclear weapons. The more important question is to what extent they will use those weapons in the future to check China. 7. How is it that Dennis Rodman played in only two All-Star games? 8. In expected value terms, this is the biggest triumph of the Trump presidency. Most of all, however, you should be agnostic. The negative commentary I am seeing is mostly sour grapes, misplaced frustration, and it is weak in the quality of its argumentation. Here is one of Trump’s better tweets.
