Seriously, why hasn't Twitter shut down Trump's account yet, how many more people need to die?

I keep hearing about them shutting down the accounts of suspected terrorist, well here they have someone who is inciting mass murders right out in the open and they do nothing about it.

Trump threatened violence yesterday, and within 24 hours his devotees slaughters dozens of innocent worshipers.

Know this though, Trump is deeply happy today and so are most of his followers. This was a demonstration of his power.

Trump is the best marketing plan Twitter could possibly have! He's the president and he has tens of millions of followers. From a business point of view, I bet Twitter loves Trump's daily use of their platform since it brings so many eyeballs to their system.

I don't use Twitter because I think it's stupid as is most social media. I think they're a huge waste of time.

If every single one of us, every single trump tweet, reported it to Twitter, every single day. At some point, they'd have to take notice of the sheer volume of complaints. When there are enough complaints against a Twitter User, then I would hope Twitter would take notice, millions of 'followers'(mostly bots) be damned.
