JUST ANOTHER CASE HE CAN'T WIN:

First Amendment Nonprofit Threatens to Sue Trump for Blocking People on Twitter (Alex Griswold, June 6, 2017, Free Beacon)

A prominent First Amendment advocacy institute at Columbia University is threatening to sue President Donald Trump  unless he stopped blocking people on Twitter.

The Knight First Amendment Institute claimed in a letter Tuesday that Trump's Twitter account, @realDonaldTrump, is a "designated public forum" that the government cannot ban individuals from for expressing contrary views.


While Donald is under no obligation to maintain such a public form, once he decides to do so he's subject to rules he won't like.
