I'm pretty confident President Trump is exercising his right of free speech.

President Trump is NOT a private citizen, he's the Head of State and the Commander in Chief. At no time is Donald Trump NOT the President of the United States. The President of United States is THE GOVERNMENT! The government doesn't have free speech, it's citizens do. The government is charged with protecting free speech, not threatening it with violence.

The purpose of free speech is to have everyone hold everyone else accountable. If CNN does a bad job on the president, of course, the president has the right to use free speech to bash CNN. The media is not king. The president is not king. No one is king in America. Everyone equal under the law.

LMAO. Own it, Sir, own it.
The American people have been made a mockery of since Eisenhower ceded the President's power to the, ahem, "national security state."
The rest of the world has known what we are for some time. The time is already passed to feel embarrassment. Word.
So, heck yes, Agent Orange, whip out the jammy and take no prisoners. Let the chips fall where they may. Trump: 1 Very Fake News: 0

Twitter is a private business and can do whatever the hell it pleases in regard to its platform.
Just as the First Amendment doesn't apply to ATS.
