There's a good article about this ruling on The Federalist website. The article points out that there is actually an official presidential Twitter account, that existed before Trump took office, and will exist after he leaves. The judge's ruling was directed at Trump's PERSONAL Twitter account, which he had before he took office, and will have after he leaves office.

It is outrageous for the judge to declare that this personal account is somehow government property or a "public forum" in the narrow sense, i.e., an official government account. As the article points out, Trump's clothes and personal possessions don't become government property just because he's the president.

The least you could have done is posted the link. I did a search and found nothing about it in the Federalist.
