<p>Freedom of Opinion however, is where I disagree with Merkel because that freedom was never taken away from Former President Trump. As a president, you are able to call a Press Conference whenever he/she feels it is necessary for addresses/announcements. The voice of a U.S. President will always be heard.</p>
<p>My stance is that while in office, a President and Vice President should not be allowed to have a social media account.</p>
