Trump short-circuits the media gatekeepers using Twitter.

But the relationship is symbiotic. While Trump loves him some free platform, he's a big traffic draw.

So, if Twitter wants to be too uppity, Trump could, for example shift operations to Gab.

I submit that a key point here is THERE IS NO CORRECT ANSWER to the policy question.

If one engages in social media, one's feelings will be hurt.

This is no blank check to be a dick. Criticisms of Trump cheapening the office are trivially shown correct. Vote accordingly this November.
