Was trump a part of the us government?

While the right cries about twitter and facebook blocking free speech, that they have the right to do, trump was trying to censor Jimmy Kimmel by reaching out to ABC.
And, he tried to censor Chrissy Teigan by reaching out to twitter.🤔
These we are aware of. How many others did he try to silence?
He is what the first amendment is supposed to protect us from.

He is incapable of taking any criticism. He can't ignore it or let it roll off his back. His whole time in office was spent telling us anything critical that came his way was unfair and not nice. Doesn't matter if it came from a colleague in Washington or a forgotten comedian with a podcast. Every bit of it bothers him. If he gets back in office- and it's a very real possibilty- expect him to silence people. He's not going to go through that again because he's effing crazy and can't take it. We've already seen enough Republicans support him through an insurrection and a challenge to Democracy. They will continue to protect while he rips up the Constitution.

@robingoodfellow every president, since i can remember, was roasted, parodied and critisized.
He is the poster child for schoolyard bullies.
Dishing it out, yet unable to take it.
And he may well do more than silence people by censoring. He's all in on jailing journalists.
He speaks of that out loud. It's unnerving to think what he is planning in private.

@Carla criticism is part of the job. A part of any job but especially the Presidency. A neurotic is unfit for the position.
I'm totally with you on this. The Second Coming will not be more of the same. It's going to be the Revenge Tour. In his head he played by the rules last time and got screwed. This time we will have to play by his rules. He's not going to surround himself again with long time Washington politicians like Pence. Because they all eventually were asked to put Trump ahead of the country and saw the dark historical hole that was dug for them, and backed away from him. This time he'll make sure everyone around him is 100 percent enabler to the end.
