Depends on what you mean by accountable. If you mean punished for expressing personal opinions, regardless of how insulting said opinions may be to any particular social niche, no. That is the essence of the 1st Amendment.

Slander, libel, and threats that would be actionable under law remain actionable under law in any case.
The first amendment protects us from the govt punishing us for our speech....other than what you mentioned like libel, slander etc....

However, Donald Trump is "the government" and we need records of all that he speaks about, regarding his presidency....even if done through Twitter...unless it is evidently not related at all...

Like him tweeting, something like, "The sky is a glorious deep blue today."
