A Twitter Account That Copies Trump's Tweets Word For Word Got Suspended Within 3 Days
"Does Twitter have special rules for President Trump? Yes, and this account just proved it."
"For years, Twitter has been accused of having one set of rules for ordinary users and another for world leaders like President Donald Trump. Now, this Twitter account, which copies and reposts Trumps tweets word for word, is proving the point."
"The account was suspended within three days after it posted the now-infamous Trump tweet warning that when the looting starts, the shooting starts. While Trump got a slap on the wrist from Twitter, and his tweet was hidden behind a warning message, @SuspendthePres had their account temporarily locked until they deleted the tweet."

I don't recall him having to delete that infamous tweet but he may have. One of his best hacks is taking the original tweet and re-posting as an image, instead of text.
