My response was directly to your quote,

"restricting the speech of the president of America, clearly they’ll have no issue manipulating other governments."

As the other commenter said, Trump’s comments were confused at best, and Twitter didn’t actually cite them in their ban. They had a convoluted explanation of how his tweets were actually coded messages.

Even if they did cite his speech as a reason, looking at it as a single event is sort of missing the point. They engaged in similar behavior for years beforehand.
