Donald Trump Has Now Unblocked His Critics On Twitter

The president and his staff have responded to a court order and unblocked a number of Trump’s most vocal critics on Twitter — but even as he was removing his “blocks,” attorneys for the president were appealing the judge’s ruling to a higher court.

Last month, a federal judge issued a strange and confusing ruling, declaring the president’s Twitter feed a “public forum” run by the government and the president’s habit of blocking his critics a violation of the First Amendment’s right to protest and petition the government for redress through public channels of communication (though she stopped short of declaring all of Twitter a public forum).
