It is not a 'Potus' account. It is Trumps account. He's still human, and still has rights too.
I disagree, he tweeted numerous official statements on that account and even Sarah huckabee sanders confirmed that his Tweets are official statements from the president. In my eyes POTUS has no personal life when he acts in public, he's always on the clock. Potus is just not one of those jobs you can put down besides you, you are always POTUS for the outside world.
I compare it with the Dutch monarchy, whenever a king/queen or prince/princess makes "stupid remarks" in public (this happened a few times) he has to excuse himself. He can't go out on twitter as "Alexander" and go all out.... he's always publicly in function.
In my eyes POTUS has no personal life
That's the heart of our disagreement I think.
I believe it's just another job. When he clocks out, or is on a break, it's his time. I feel that during 'his time' he is free to talk about work, and more or less do as he pleases.
When he's on the clock, he has to take the public, when he's off, I think he's ok to tune them out.
It is.

He can to a certain degree "clock out" and have "his" time but only in the privacy of his home or among friends in private circumstances. Publishing statements on a global public media forum however changes this into a "public appearance", makes it "work" and makes him POTUS in function. Where he to make these statements at the bar of a private cocktail party, by all means. The difference is the platform being private or public.
It comes with the exceptional job; like royals, prime ministers and presidents (not only POTUS). Whenever you are acting in public, you are acting in function.
Edit:
You used a misleading quote btw: "In my eyes POTUS has no personal life when he acts in public"
I can't see this sticking.
That's not how free-speech works. Trump kicking people off his personal twitter is his right.
He is not preventing anyone from saying anything. They can say whatever they want on their twitter account, without repercussion from him.
It is not a 'Potus' account. It is Trumps account. He's still human, and still has rights too.
Regulating personal hours and actions is not something I will ever be ok with.
