Donald Trump Twitter – the one without the other is difficult to imagine. But now, the short messages service is clear: just as now it will not run for President after he left office more.

Twitter for Donald Trump more than just a social Medium. Before his presidency, he took advantage of the short message service as a virtuoso for self-promotion. Since his arrival, he goes about his attacks, distracts the mind and makes it even policy. But this could have as of January a the end. Because of the special treatment of the President is a change in the White house.

The Twitter made it clear yesterday. Donald Trump should lose Biden the election against Joe, it would not be he from the passing of the torch head of state. And would slip thus from the point of view of the short message service in a new valuation category: from the active Trump would then, like his predecessors, Barack Obama’s “former” leaders, evaluated, explained Twitter. And while the brought for Obama, no change, is already clear: just as now it will go to Trump any further than that.

No special treatment more

Because while many would have had of trump’s Tweets, regular users have long consequences, benefits he as the US President of a special scheme for the group: Because of the Tweets of high-ranking politicians per se have value message, by the group only in the most extreme cases, against you. Even if they contain obvious rule violations. So, the group put out, even then, no Tweets Trumps, if they contained incitement of Violence, racist comments, or obvious false information. Instead, they were hidden behind only a warning, but still call. And measures, such as Locking after a number of warnings have not been implemented.

That will change with Trumps detachment in the White house. Although he is mentioned more than “Mr. President” and receives protection by the Secret Service. His Twitter Account loses the presidential privilege but. And that would result in the current Twitter behavior from the President very quickly to problems.

Trump turns

Currently, there is little evidence that Trump might calm down after the dismissal – on the contrary. Since taking office, the President has increased his Twitter frequency steadily. He came in the entire first year of his term in office on 2487 Tweets, were it alone in the last three months, 3939.

And also the sound is becoming more and more aggressive: From the 17 yesterday sold Tweets all seven of Twitter have been hidden as false reports. In all, the President had the running count of the valid votes at the election, and himself winner of the election is declared. In the past, direct and indirect incitement of Violence, dangerous claims to the Corona-pandemic or lies had been political competitors disappear.

All of these violations are for Trump in January, significantly harsher consequences. Accumulate too many warnings, or suggests a user extremely over-the-top, lock the service account, also over longer periods of time, some of trump’s allies, such as the conspiracy theorist Alex Jones or the former Star of the young Right Milo Yiannopoulos, have been a while ago of the platform thrown in. The youngest out of the litter of trump’s former chief strategist Steve Bannon is: He had asked on Thursday in his Podcast, to behead the Trump fractious virologist Anthony Fauci “as a warning” and put his head in front of the White house on a Pike to spear.

So far, Donald Trump went so far. But real restraint should be expected from the enormous impulsive force President hardly. It remains to be seen whether the threat of a long or even permanent barrier can restrain his mind.
