They don't. They hire someone to do it for them. In that instance they're just wasting money, and if you're employed by the government you're just wasting someone else's money so no cost.
And as someone else said, you block people if you're a politician because you don't want the opposition message gaining ground of your platform. I understand why they would want to do it, I also believe they shouldn't be allowed to as public servants.
- krapp 7y agoI'm pretty sure Trump does most of his own tweeting, though. He seems legitimately addicted to the platform. Although there was an article during the election suggesting you could tell the difference between Trump and his handlers tweeting by the way the tweets were worded, so he probably isn't alone.
