Trump's Twitter account is crucial to the modern presidency. Access to his virtual public forum is as necessary as being free to attend a town hall.
The June 2017 tweet that moved President Donald Trump to block me wasn’t profane or even particularly salty. He had attacked the press yet again, claiming that if he had relied on “Fake News,” he would have lost the 2016 election. I replied, expressing my belief that Russian interference played a huge role in the election: “To be fair you didn't win the : Russia won it for you.” Within days, I realized I had been blocked.
Twitter is a platform for connectingTwitter had always been an odd forum for me. While I was clerking for federal appellate courts, my ability to use it around politics, law and government was restricted. It had only been since I completed the clerkships and joined a think tank in 2016 that I really started to warm to this abbreviated means of communicating with people — potentially any and all people, anyone who wanted to see what I had to say.
Trump governs via tweetWhen Trump blocked me, he took these things, and so much more, away. The conversations around his tweets are direct links to the presidency; being able to reply is about more than professional necessity — it’s about being able to express concerns to that office and being heard by others doing the same.
By then, the conversation was already several levels removed from the original tweet; I had lost any chance to contribute or engage the first-line responses and it was difficult to catch up. Part of what’s significant about these conversations is how they unfold in real time: Experts interpret policy-specific tweets; former officials comment on process; journalists and researchers contextualize new developments, and so on.
