Note that Erdogan, an actual dictator, with military offensives on record (Syria, Karabash, Libya) and war-like operations (radar illumination against French warship, violations of Greece territorial waters) is not restricted at all on Twitter while the only US president in recent times that didn’t send troops abroad or start a new war is censored. It clearly shows that it’s not dangerousity of speech or personality that is censored.

The difference is Erdogan's Twitter account is simply used for press releases. He does not personally post messages that violate their community standards. Regardless of what he does or says elsewhere, it's harder for Twitter to justify closing his account.
