Sorry but you are wrong. Trump's administration has stated that his tweets are official statements. Meaning, he can't block people who reply to his tweets.

- ubernostrum 8y agoSee also @RealPressSecBot, which hammers home the point: https://twitter.com/RealPressSecBot https://twitter.com/RealPressSecBot For those who don't want to click, it collects Trump's tweets in real-ish time, and reframes them into images of official-looking messages. The latest one as of the time I post this comment begins: THE WHITE HOUSE Office of the Press Secretary FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE May 23, 2018 Statement by the President And then puts the text of Trump's tweet immediately below.
