"SNIP.........
A Twitter employee deactivated Donald Trumps personal account on their last day of work, the company said on Thursday, likely meaning the action was deliberate.
The move by the employee who has not been named meant that the presidents @realdonaldtrump account was down for 11 minutes.
During the brief period of downtime, shortly before 4pm Pacific time (11pm GMT), anyone going to the @realDonaldTrump Twitter page would see the message Sorry, that page doesnt exist!
After widespread speculation about what had happened, Twitter initially said the account had been inadvertently deactivated due to human error by a Twitter employee.

Twitter would have lost nothing from the account staying closed.
