As a bare minimum, they should be held to the same standards as regular people. But given their influence and ability to abuse it, there should be an even higher bar.

No president, and especially not Trump, should be exempt from social media terms and conditions. If it were official statement on government websites or whatever, then fine.
I think all this shows is that the president of the U.S. is not bigger than everything and maybe that realization shocks people. People elevate presidents so high that when they are exposed for being weak, their reality is shattered.

If only..
Trump has crossed into deity territory to millions of people. That is disturbing given that he is less mentally fit than your average person. Whether it's a personality disorder or something else, his view of the world is deranged, narcissistic and devoid of empathy. It is far off of what can be considered normal or balanced. Having people like that put on pedestals and emulated is dangerous to society. The sort of individuals like Trump need help, not the most powerful position of the authority in the world.
