Twitter is losing lots of money. Its moderation rules, as well as shadow banning, throttling, suppression of right wing trends and hashtags became notorious during the election. Twitter keeps a large conservative market despite this in part because Donald Trump keeps up both conservative interest and general interest in the platform. If they banned Trump then you would see a very large exodus from the platform to other platforms and twitter would become a SJW circle jerk as well as even more of a money pit than before whilst alternative platforms gained critical mass.

So yes, please twitter ban Donald Trump and soon you could be as great as MySpace.

No. Even con men and bumbling clowns who masquerade as Presidents of countries have a right to free speech.

Sure, but Twitter is under no obligation to give him the means exercise it using their service.

Still, I don't see them giving the President of the United States the shaft. I think Trump is too good for business.
Twitter mods are famous for being ultra SJWs. Its not just the straightforward modding either. Its things like shadow banning, throttling, manipulation of trending hashtags and auto completes. Twitter mods have been manipulating their platform to favour left wing, SJW and anti Trump points of view for some time now. I'm sure they would have banned Trump if they could have got away with it. Trouble is that Twitter consistently loses money and banning Trump would only lead to that problem getting worse.

Overly dramatic much? Most of what's on twitter has nothing to do with politics.
That doesn't alter the politically motivated shadow banning, throttling, manipulation of trending hashtags and auto completes etc. The management at Twitter clearly see it as a tool for promoting a SJW political agenda.
