As if that portal would somehow be more secure?

Likely, yes. Perfect security might be impossible but I hear some people competent people remain in the DoD and NSA despite the administration's efforts.
Certainly it could be if security was an explicit design goal. Security is an afterthought for most social media companies since users getting hacked isn't typically a big deal; including in this case.

Notice, for example, that bank accounts are hacked much less frequently than twitter accounts.

I would bet that you could be more secure than Twitter if you eliminated a bunch of features.

Heck, you could make it a static website.

It would prevent internal issues and bias at Twitter, like when a rogue employee deleted Trump's account.
