apart from Twitters word

@RyeNorth actually, you are the one that drew a distinction between @potus and trumps account. i did not.

they are both voices of the president

well @POTUS does belong to the govt

it is passed from one president to another

so I guess it is official in some sense

or, well, one is the voice of the president, the other is of his poor PR team

someone said my name?

Have you considered that the tone Trump takes in his twitter, it's more of a direct line to the people who voted for him?

His Twitter is for the sake of his supporters, at the expense of his detractors.

If it's a public forum, it's going to be a shitshow

I'm willing to bet it gets beat down tho

if it doesn't it's gonna be really fucking weird

I'm willing to bet Twitter will BEG for it to get beat down.

yes

why? twitter is not affected by the statement

Because if not, everyone in the US will need to purge all public figure's bans

They inherently are.

they could still ban trumps account if it violated ToS

er

I worded that for SHIT

what are the official ways the President talks to the public?

Every public figure in the US will need to immediately unban everyone from the US that they blocked

If they're the stewards of an open public forum, they are required to observe the first amendment as well.

@OliveBlanc every public figure? or every government official?

But then there's going to be a lead-in from the people who are using VPN's

yes

well, govt'

sorry, again

Im not from America so im not familiar with this, in my country the govt owns 2 of the TV channels and they use them to talk to the ppl

It might eventually trickle down to that

But I don't see it in the neigh future

If we go by your logic, Grenade

The Governor is never NOT representing the state.

honestly, the governor sorta is never not representing the state

Judges are never NOT making statements edging towards policy.

they're representing the state when they put a klan uniform, when they take a dump and when they call little kids fags

The President is not unique in his representation of the government.

yup

He's just up there because he's honestly just a badass

If we're going to say that only Donald Trump's twitter account applies
