After close review of recent Tweets from the @realDonaldTrump account and the context around them — specifically how they are being received and interpreted on and off Twitter — we have permanently suspended the account due to the risk of further incitement of violence.
In the context of horrific events this week, we made it clear on Wednesday that additional violations of the Twitter Rules would potentially result in this very course of action. Our public interest framework exists to enable the public to hear from elected officials and world leaders directly. It is built on a principle that the people have a right to hold power to account in the open.
However, we made it clear going back years that these accounts are not above our rules entirely and cannot use Twitter to incite violence, among other things. We will continue to be transparent around our policies and their enforcement.
The below is a comprehensive analysis of our policy enforcement approach in this case.

Wow, I haven’t seen this posted 5 times already.
They did it AGAIN?
Dang, that’s like the 14th time today.
Overkill, in my opinion.
I have been permanently suspended from Twitter because I suggested that Congressman Adam Kinzinger (RINO) was a cheap whore. Glad to be in such good company.
Every conservative needs to delete his or her Twitter and quit using it. There are alternatives. You are just giving Twitter and Facebook (and Google) the rope to hang yourselves.
I posted the original source, not 2nd or 3rd hand sources.
Trump said NOTHING these last few days and they banned him anyway seriously..we are China
Was reading a book about Renaissance Florence when it fell to its foreign enemies and became a dictatorship under the Medici.
The despotism was carried out in concert with the rich and powerful business leaders.
One perceptive quote was Florence was “unable to maintain liberty or to resist control”.
This is what THEY call a “Peaceful transition of Power”....
3 times in the last minute
Yeah...well I banned Twitter from my daily reading. They’re now in the dustbin with Drudge. And I never use Facebook, cancelled my cable and Netflix.
Not going to fuel my enemies.
Twit what?
They have simply identified themselves as an arm of the Ministry of Public Enlightenment and Propaganda as far as I am concerned.
Deleted mine tonight.
I never use the site. I'm doing my best to boycott. What else can we do?
I dont recognize my country anymore..when I said that during the Obama years it wasn’t as bad as it is now..we no longer have a country
Go to Parler and Telegram. If you do not use Twitter, then you have done all you can about it.
I have. All 6 of them.
Mr.President,GOOD NEWS. There are alternative sites, such as Rumble,GAB, and Paler.
That’s exactly how I feel...we’ve lost our country to the wicked and their depraved minds.....I see another lock down coming.
Well time to arm up. Hey now Mr.Trump can now go to Paler.
