Is tRump's Twitter account considered official or is it meaningless and meant to be ignored?

The reason I ask is because if it's not official, how can he fire anyone via Twitter?

And if it is official, that means government agencies must monitor it for his random declarations and firings so they can generate the paperwork needed to comply with his random wishes. What kind of stable and sane government does that? This is dysfunctional to the nth degree.

If he is able to fire people via Tweet, that should be proof that it is an official account.
When the time comes there should be plenty of evidence of sedition and whatever other charges can be brought against him.

It is not official when they don't want it to be.

See the declassification of the Russian election meddling report. On Twitter it was all to be classified. Trump's DOJ then went into Court to argue the opposite.

There has been a ruling that it counts as officially archivable presidential material. The garbage that he (and flunkies, who pretend to be him - probably illegal in itself) put on it ensure that it is meaningless. And sometimes, they have used the excuse that it's just Twitter, and people should ignore it. eg when he retweeted an accusation that Dr. Fauci was colluding with Democrats to allow Americans to die, so that Donald would look bad.
