Evidently for some it is quite a hurdle.

Not the point. The president shouldn't be allowed to block access to his stated official communication channel bc people talk smack.

The president can block whoever he wants and no law prevents him from doing so. It's as simple as that.
If you don't like it, you can vote against him in 2020.

Wrong. He's not using it for personal use, he's using it for official statements. Therefore, he shouldn't be allowed to restrict access.
It's as simple as that and if you don't like it, oh well.

These three articles about a politician who blocked a critic on FB, was sued, and lost the case when a Federal court ruled that politicians blocking followers violates free speech.
This should help you understand the laws that back up that claim.
Federal court rules public officials cannot block social media users.
