A “human error,” they said.
Daily Caller: An employee at Twitter deactivated President Donald Trump’s Twitter account Thursday night, according to a statement released by the company.
Twitter released a statement Thursday evening saying an employee had “inadvertently deactivated” Trump’s personal Twitter account, calling it a “human error.” Once Trump’s account was deactivated there was an immediate reaction among Twitter users until the account reappeared several minutes after.
“Earlier today @realdonaldtrump’s account was inadvertently deactivated due to human error by a Twitter employee. The account was down for 11 minutes, and has since been restored. We are continuing to investigate and are taking steps to prevent this from happening again,” Twitter said in a statement shortly after the incident.
This comes as reports showed that Twitter buried a significant portions of tweets related to hacked emails from the Democratic National Committee and Clinton campaign chair John Podesta in the last two months of the 2016 presidential campaign.
“…inadvertently deactivated due to human error…”
More like inadvertently discovered by the rest of the twitterverse.
Per Twitter it was his last day. Well it turned out to be anyhow.

yeah right, I refuse to believe this.
The President’s account is the only reason I’m on Twitter right now. I hate that site, I hate what they try to pass as “trending”, I hate those blue checked people trying to sound oh so much important than you. I really hope we, conservatives, could have a better platform.
Welcome to the No-Fly List, Twitterhole….
Val, try James Woods and Joe Bastardi. Both great sites.
Communicating on Leftist platforms opens you up to violations of your privacy in private communications and blackmail at some point in the future.
Facebook, Disqus, Twitter, etc. Any of those platforms are archiving every thought you’ve ever expressed to use against you later.

This might be a good thing. This incident may call the president’s attention to how Twitter, Facebook, Youtube, etc. are censoring conservative viewpoints and how easy it is for them to do it.

Sounds and smells like horse droppings!
Conservatives rely too much on these leftist platforms. Time to create alternatives.
Sabotage! In war times past; saboteurs, traitors and spies could be executed.
WOW! 11 minutes!
Fight the good fight brother!
I call bullshit. Tell me you aren’t extra careful with the president’s account. This doesn’t happen by mistake.
