citation very much needed.

Just because content on social media is negative towards Trump, doesn't mean the platform itself is.

In fact, Twitter has been incredibly lenient with Trump. Much of what he tweets (threats for example) contravene the TOS.

As I recall, after his election, Twitter explicitly updated its TOS to basically say that they don't apply to certain public figures, in effect admitting that he does violate the TOS but they are unwilling to do anything about it.
