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.

[b]This[/b] in particular, is the kind of thing that makes his claims that he established his "Truth" website to "promote free speech" so ridiculous and hypocritical. Trump balked when Twitter simply reserved the right to fact-check his posts. If you’re telling the truth, why would that bother you ? Trump tried to sue SNL, who has satirized all the presidents during its run. Most have considered it a badge of honor.
"Free speech for me—not for thee" is apparently the right’s motto. 😩

@bijouxbroussard the idea that they formed a congressional hearing into twitter is insane.
These people have no relationship with truth, integrity, character.
Isnt in his tos that he can not be criticized?
It's happening all over though. It isn't just trump. But he is the head of the snake, for certain.
I just don't understand the right's ability to just let it pass.

@Carla Just look at what DeSantis learned from Trump. You can't criticize DeSantis or else you get punished in Florida and don't criticize anything a White Person says or does in Florida either.
