and the jackbooted deep-state NWO illuminati blue-helmet stormtroopers from the UN, led by Hillary and Soros, disembark, and proceed to drain fluids from your kids, declare your straight marriage null and void, then take you off to the FEMA camps to turn you gay and socialist ... and they take away your phone so you can't tweet anymore?

Pretty sure that's shadow banning.

4. Shadow banning is a real thing but I think it is overblown

Especially coming from Trump.

Shadow Banning

Shadow banning, also called stealth banning, ghost banning or comment ghosting,[1] is the act of blocking or partially blocking a user or their content from an online community so that it will not be readily apparent to the user that they have been banned. For instance, shadow banned comments posted to a blog or media website will not be visible to other persons accessing that site from their computers.

By partly concealing, or making a user's contributions invisible or less prominent to other members of the service, the hope may be that in the absence of reactions to their comments, the problematic or otherwise out-of-favour user will become bored or frustrated and leave the site, and that spammers and trolls will not create new accounts.[1][2][3]

that this is what's bugging Vlad.

I for one am MAJORLY looking forward to this asshat being BANNED from Twitter on Jan 20, 2021, I'll tell ya that.

Actually that upcoming action may be what's getting him all crazy about this subject.
