Should we start holding Twitter accountable?

Normally anyone who tweets crap like this would have their account closed.
If Trump insists on lowering himself to the lowest common denominator he should be treated just like any other lowest common denominator.

If he's insulting and abusing individuals and encouraging anti-American behavior his account should be closed down just like anyone else's would be.

Twitter, do you duty and enforce your policies!

It offers the world a clear window into his soul and exposes him for who he really is.
Without this everything would come from media and rumors, much of which would be discounted even if it was true.
It's so bizarre that it would be written off as gross exaggeration without him posting this crap personally.
