We’ll continue to work with the DOJ to ensure the White House restores access to the account to all individuals who were blocked on the basis of their viewpoints. We also look forward to defending the district court’s ruling in the appeals court. (FIN)

Spammers & Trolls can't block communication in any way, shape or form. It's a Tweet. Once Tweeted by Trump, it has been made available for public consumption. Trump is under no obligation to Tweet, but he does.
Oh, and, he needs to obey the law.
