sadly no, the ruling specifies that it's due solely to the presidents unique position of authority and being required to be transparent with the people or some poo poo, it's fairly specific. I wouldn't be surprised to see it quickly overturned.

no it doesnt, it's all public officials

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-05-23/trump-told-by-judge-not-to-block-users-from-his-twitter-feed posted:

"This case requires us to consider whether a public official may, consistent with the First Amendment, ‘block’ a person from his Twitter account in response to the political views that person has expressed, and whether the analysis differs because that public official is the President," Buchwald said. "The answer to both questions is no."

I'm no expert in Constitutional law but having the sitting President inspect your dick is most definitely without question what the Founding Fathers intended the 1st Amendment to be

Wow, does nobody understand how this Twitter thing works? Blocking prevents others from seeing what you post. Preventing some constituents you don't like from reading what you say is illegal. Unless of course, you are supreme dicktater for life. In that case you can execute people at will.

Lewd behavior and insults are not protected by the first amendment, so you guys will need to prove that getting your balls sucked by an elected official is a religion or a genuine political belief.

I don’t know if you’ve been reading the news or not, but “eat my balls” has been valid political discourse for the past few years.
