Someone that thinks a newspaper is making up a tweet can handle the couple minutes of effort to find it somewhere else.
It's no more effort than looking up something in a speech or a press conference.

But the one tweet is not the issue, they say. It is the one tweet in the context of all his tweets. I mean the one tweet only said "I won't attend the inauguration".
They don't explicitly say what tweets are the actual reason for his termination.
I found an archive of Trump tweets. It consists of 50000 tweets. Finding tweets in there that somehow confirm the claims that he was calling for violence is more work than just a couple of minutes.

And getting all of them is as easy as getting a speech recording, if not easier.

The exact same thing happens if his twitter is unbanned and you go there for context. I'm not seeing the issue.
Yes, copies of his tweets exist, although I am also not sure if they are legal. Iirc Twitter demands that downloaded Tweets are being deleted when they are being deleted on Twitter. Trump himself may have the rights to publish them, though.
