Regarding section 230 it says:
> It is the policy of the United States that the scope of that immunity should be clarified: the immunity should not extend beyond its text and purpose to provide protection for those who purport to provide users a forum for free and open speech, but in reality use their power over a vital means of communication to engage in deceptive or pretextual actions...
So Trump would have to argue that Twitter is using their power to engage in deceptive or pretextual actions.
I'm no lawyer, that seems like a stretch.. And this assumes an executive order can just change law without other legalative bodies.
