At this point I'd be surprised if trump's twitter didn't have an implicit 2FA of calling someone on staff for suspicious logins.

Is there good information as to why the July 15 account takeover attack didn't include trump's twitter?

"Mr. Trump’s account got extra protection after past incidents, according to a senior administration official and a Twitter employee, who would speak only anonymously because the security measures were private."
