Like i said in my original response, if this were in regards to the official presidential twitter, I agree with the ruling. But, with Trump's personal account this is an affront to his First Amendment rights.
And, as I said in a previous response:

This is most true on Twitter or Instagram where official accounts aren't going to be "Pages" like on Facebook. I would like to agree with the idea that the accounts could remain separated out, but the practicality of this solution isn't high.
Trump tweets as POTUS from his personal account on a regular basis. You can't divorce the personal from the official unless that NEVER happens. The only way for it to never happen would be to make the personal inactive at this point.
