Twitter isn't going to delete Trump's tweet or disable his account. Not happening.

One, he's a public figure and leader of a country. Taking him off the platform would undermine public transparency. Their ultimate view is "let the public see him for what he is and decide at the
ballot box if they want to continue having him represent his country."

Two, Trump's tweets will never be "deleted" as a historical matter. They're all subject to the Presidential Records Act. They'll all be stored and archived for future generations to see. It's mandated by law.
So "deleting" his tweet from Twitter won't change anything. It's never going to truly go away.

Three, the moment Twitter gets to decide what world leaders can and cannot be on their platform is a moment that would have serious legal, ethical and political ramifications across
the world. All world leaders can and are on Twitter. Even the leaders in China and Iran who oversee grotesque acts of oppression are on Twitter (although I doubt they're personally managing the account like Trump does for his).

This the reality of the Internet-connected world.
