Not at all. Free speech in both cases. He is free to say what he thinks, we (us as individuals, Twitter as a company, everyone) are free to say we think he is talking complete and utter balderdash if that is what we think.
A president trying to silence Twitter's statement about what he has said by intimidating them is an attempt at censorship though.
