The case demonstrated once again Trump's contempt for the Constitution. His behavior consistently and strongly suggests that he seems to think the Constitution does not apply to him when he doesn't want it to.
The fact that he would even bother to have people blocked on Twitter demonstrates what a fragile, special snowflake he is. When you're in the public eye and hold elective office, you have to expect you'll piss some people off. But Trump apparently takes that as a slight and can only deal with that by pretending you don't exist.
It's frustrating and annoying that taxpayer dollars were spent defending Trump. He insisted in his court filing that his tweets were from his private account and that he should thus be able to block anyone just as any private citizen could on Twitter, yet he used government lawyers on the taxpayer's dime in his failed attempt to make that case.
Trump now has the option of appealing to the U.S. Supreme Court. And they also have the option to not take the appeal, as they do in more than 99 percent of cases. Let's hope they give Trump this ultimate snub.
