→Donald Trump
[[President Donald Trump]] brought even more attention to the social networking site, and drew both more conservatives and critics. He was well-known for his plentiful, blunt, and oft humorous tweets, and made it a regular practice to communicate with the public using Twitter, even before his political career. He became quite popular on Twitter, with over 26 million followers. He became so popular, in fact, that searching just the letter "r", the fist letter of his username,"@realDonaldTrump" returned him as the first search suggestion. He was banned from Twitter on January 6th, 2021, after the mostly peaceful Capitol building protests.

===Twitter executives hate speech===

Twitter’s corrupt senior executives and other employees have a long history of anti-Trump [[hatred]], a ''[[New York Post]]'' review of dozens of accounts of top employees found.<ref>https://nypost.com/2020/10/17/twitter-employees-reveal-deep-hatred-for-trump/</ref> The venom, vitriol and, in some cases, vows to help Joe Biden win the 2020 presidential election while said employees behave like emotionally-stunted preschool children online, enabled and encouraged by Jack Dorsey himself.
“GET HIM OUT,” posted a senior site reliability engineer on August 18, 2020 “What a f---king baboon.” One manager with nine years on the job said he was quite keen to watch Biden “crush [Trump] in the election” and that he hoped the president would “be utterly humiliated while also suffering greatly from [[Covid 19|#COVID19]].” He vulgarly and immaturely calls Trump “a f---king idiot” and the voters who elected him — “hysterically f–--king [[stupid]] people.” Others publicly wish the President harm. One Twitter engineering manager, displaying his own [[childishness]], said Trump should “die in a fire” in a January 2017 tweet. A year later, he rang in the new year by falsely claiming “Happy 2018! Donald Trump is dead!”
None of these comments have ever been flagged by Twitter or been subject to any other form of official sanction, even as the social-media giant unjustly dishes out discipline to others for sharing legitimate news stories about Joe Biden. After a fly landed on Vice President [[Mike Pence]]’s head during his debate with Sen. [[Kamala Harris]], the Twitter vice president noted crudely that flies are “drawn to sh-t.”
Spreading misinformation, lies and libel about the Trump family is common. A senior staff engineer inquired why the media wasn’t looking into [[Melania Trump]]’s “possible stint as a sex worker.” The First Lady denied this allegation and successfully sued over it. Twitter’s “head of integrity” Yoel Roth, who helped author the policy update used by the company to flag and label posts from President Trump, compared [[White House]] officials to "[[Nazi]]s" and Trump to a “racist tangerine.”
