Had a look there when you posted the above tweet.https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1337745268591259648?s=19 Honestly, are we still here at this nonsense? January 6th can't come quickly enough to finally end this nonsense.

Watch them spend the next four years talking up some sort of fake communist threat from Antifa and the likes. Going easy on everyone calling for a coup now might make things easier in the short term but it's just kicking the problem down the line.

Will they turn off his account based on previous miss use at 12:01pm on the 20th, or will they wait for him to tweet something newly disallowed? As whilst outside the terms of use of Twitter previously, as comments by the president his statements need preserving. Do his previous miss-tweetings no longer count against him and he will need to rack up new controversy before they boot him from the platform?

They will dot every i and cross every t as they step through this. How long that process takes though is anyones guess - Given that at least one of the penalty stages is a temporary ban , it will take at least a few days I'd imagine.

Every tweet he sends out generates headlines, with the word Twitter somewhere in the article of a picture of the tweet. You can't buy that sort of brand awareness. If you are a shareholder in Twitter, which do you think is the better business decision?
Quin_Dub wrote: » That may be true now , but will it be true in a few months time? His tweets will no longer be of "significant importance" , he'll be no different than any of their other users with very large followings. Would they let Beyonce or Taylor Swift etc. away with the crap he's been posting of late? I'm not suggesting they'll kick him off out of spite , but if he breaks the rules they will have no option but to follow the guidelines that they have in terms of the various warnings and escalating restrictions up to and including temporary or permanent banning. For sure , they'd like to keep him , but they will also have to apply their rules equally to him , otherwise every single tool that they ban can use him as justification for being allowed back.
Leroy42 wrote: » I share your concerns pixelburp, but on the other side whilst many people claim that they believe the vote was rigged, the crowds at the Stop the Steal rallies are tiny. There really isn't an increasing force ready to overthrow the government. The vast majority of people will move on. Trump will be forgotten about in time. Sure he will continue to post on whatever platform he uses, and be on Fox or OANN, but he overs nothing for 4 years. He struggled to get anything actually done during his time as POTUS, but at least could lie about the state forces holding him back and could mix that with PR stunts to show he was in charge. He will have none of that soon. I think it is easy to get sucked into thinking that his constant tweets, the more outlandish mouth pieces like McEnany, Hannity etc, speak for everyone. But they really don't. Of course, there is always going to be those that take things too far, just like some people used the BLM protests as an excuse to riot and vandalism, but no more than it means that BLM is threat, Proud Boys doesn't mean Trump or his supporters or a threat.

The contents of his presidential twitter account are apparently going to the Library of Congress the same as those of other presidents public speeches etc.
