I am not sure how I feel about this. It's tricky.

I think public officials should have an official account for social media. In this case, the White House has an an official Twitter account account and an offical Facebook account. These should be managed by the communications staff. Public officials - such as the president - should not be allowed to make official announcements via their personal social media accounts. These should go through official and docmented channels.

Let's remove tRump and the White House from the convesation and repalce it with my local government. My mayor does not use his personal account to city accounments. When the Mayor or the city wants to make an announcement, they can do so through official channels - via their website or email.
