What if Twitter keeps the president's tweets put a banner "this content violates the policies <insert what and why etc>, we don't condone this .... but for the interest of the public discourse we decided to keep this online etc etc"?

To my surprise they have just done this with a pair of his tweets about mail-in ballots (adding a 'get the facts about this topic' button to each tweet) and as you might expect he's throwing a fit.

They certainly can, but they're needlessly buying into trouble. And, if it matters, probably bumping up Trump's fall vote totals.
