While I agree that there are real dangers in censoring public officials by private corporations, there are still a myriad of ways for the president to communicate with people outside of the social networks.
No President before Trump used Twitter. If he’s the most powerful person in the world, surely that comes with communication channels.
In the end, most of our society seems to be done with this guy so the social media networks are really just following that. They’re advertising companies after all.

Obama isn’t the president and hasn’t been for a while. (And yes he wouldn’t conduct diplomacy and announce policies through text messages from the toilet even if he were.)
Your emotions are controlling you. Vengeance & revenge is how we ended up with the Patriot Act.
