    President Donald J. Trump could be banned from Twitter after the inauguration of President-elect Joe Biden.

    The confirmation of the commander-in-chief’s ban came on Thursday from a Twitter spokesperson speaking with Forbes. As president, he is allowed to remain on the social media platform under the World Leaders policy.

    This is GREAT News. Long overdue.

    January 20th can't come soon enough.

    It will be a great service to humanity to remove Trump's IMBECILIC Brain Diarrhea from Twitter.

    Are you in favor of this potential Ban?

    If he is in breach of their Rules, sure. I disagree with a pre-emptive ban merely because he is Humpty Dumpty with a very bad record. They should allow him to tweet, but knock them off if they breach the Rules there.

    They won't ban him automatically, BUT:

    After he is no longer President, he will be subjected to the same rules as every other user.

    “However, if a Tweet from a world leader does violate the Twitter Rules but there is a clear public interest value to keeping the Tweet on the service, we may place it behind a notice that provides context about the violation and allows people to click through should they wish to see the content,” states the policy that was announced by the company in June 2019.

    ^In other words, Trump has posted several Tweets that would have gotten a "normal user" banned.

    He will lose the "World Leader" privilege on Jan. 20th.

    That is the plan.

    They WON'T ban him automatically.

    It is just that After Jan. 20th he will be subjected to strict application of the Terms of service (like any "normal user").

    That's the way it should be. It is way past time Humpty was treated like the King he thinks he is.

    And, they WILL.

    That is why he is on thin ice if he continues to post his normal IMBECILIC Brain Diarrhea.

    We should have an “office bet” on how long it will take for him to get banned. 1 day? 1 week? He has no self control and is incapable of learning.

    The Proposition Bet of how long he will last, will probably have to set the Over/Under in Hours.

    Maybe even the first hour after the inauguration. He will be rage Tweeting almost immediately.

    I agree, it will be measured in hours, perhaps minutes — not days or weeks.

    Exactly.

    The sort of Electronic Timer that they use for sprint races in the Olympics.

    Trump needs to come to parler and say screw Twitter. If Trump leaves Twitter they will lose millions of conservatives and billions of dollars. I'm not so sure they want to lose that money.

    The assigned electors disagree.
    I have a feeling this prediction will fare as well as your last few.

    Yep Biden won.

    IMHO we should stop creating threads about dirty donny. He is a loser. Washed up. Yesterday’s news. Time to forget about him and start talking about the incoming administration.

    Let’s look forward, not to the corrupt past.

    The Democrats cheated in big cities. Trump won almost every county in America.

    Now we are stuck with 4 years of a corrupt Biden-Harris administration.
