So all his tweets and tweets going forward for a president is equal to addressing the nation and is law.
Edit: Yes it was in October 2017.
What had happened is a Trump worker deactivated his account on their last day of work. Which sparked a legal debate whether a social media company could bann a president. The courst ruled that a president can not be banned as they may need any platform to annouce emergencies. So yes your right IMO twitter gains alot from trumps crazy in ads but they also cannot ban him out right as it would be illegal as he is currently the president. That is why they have the disclaimers over his tweete when he goes full Q-Annon.

Why can’t they ban Trumps private account and force him to use the official Presidential account?
