What would happen if Trump was on your site and constantly violated your standards of behaviour?

Can't speak for the grandparent, but here he'd be warned several times, then banned.

The point is who gets to decide the standards of behavior?

There are tons of laws restricting what standards can be. Fair housing act. Education, phone service are examples of things that can’t be arbitrarily denied because people providing disagree with who you are, what you belief, or what you do (excepting illegal activity).

Many argue the Internet and some of these services should be added to that list.
