Makes a serious point!
OK Donaloser Chump can't tweet to say 'Boo hoo it's not fair, the bastards have locked my Twitter account.'
But he could call a conventional in-person press conference to declare his outrage that his right of free speech / human rights / whatever have been denied and it's all an outrageous conspiracy to keep the conspiracy secret etc. etc. and there is a good likelihood that quite a lot of dick-heads would support him in this.
So why hasn't he? Has he lost his bottle? Has he lost the plot? Has he lost interest? 'I'm bored with this 'presidency' bollosck, I want to go and play something else now.'

5 stars as is.
'I'M BEING CENSORED!' complains man whose house has its own press briefing room
[Checked and within the 80. Just.]I think it works brilliantly the way round you've got it. I'm trying it this way to see if there is much gain - often there is - but I honestly don't think so in this case.
Would be interested to hear from anyone else who gets why it would normally be better swapped, and especially as to why it isn't so in this example?

Separately, I think there is much more here, and the concept is a belter.
For example, I think there was at least one senior, experienced CNN political reporter expelled from the White House very publicly in the early days, and I would imagine there were others, perhaps from the 'print' media like the Post where it was done with less fanfare.
Also, on January 20th(!) there is space for lines like:
White House press manipulation room restored to press briefing room
White House press censorship room restored to basic propaganda room
White House bullshit tantrum room restored to press briefing room
