Why was Donald Trump’s Twitter account suspended

Donald Trump’s twitter account was permanently suspended after his tweets violated the rules of the social media platform. This was done during the 2021 Capitol riots after Trump lost to Joe Biden and his supporters stormed the Capitol building.

Donald Trump’s tweets posed the “risk of further incitement of violence,” said Twitter in a blog post. Read here.

However, it all changed in 2022 when Elon Musk infamously took over Twitter. Trump’s account was restored on the platform following a poll by Elon Musk in which 51.8% voted in favor and 48.2% in opposition, said a CNN report.

Trump has now made a comeback on X not just as an entrepreneur but as a twice-elected President of the United States. He now has the POTUS account to his name which reads “45th & 47th President of the United States. The Golden Age of America Begins Right Now.”
