Permanently!!
The first tweet was about the rump's supporters.
"The 75,000,000 great American Patriots who voted for me, AMERICA FIRST, and MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN, will have a GIANT VOICE long into the future. They will not be disrespected or treated unfairly in any way, shape or form!!!"
The second indicated that the rump did not plan to attend Joe Biden's inauguration.
The tweets violated the company's policy against glorification of violence, Twitter said, and "these two Tweets must be read in the context of broader events in the country and the ways in which the President's statements can be mobilized by different audiences, including to incite violence, as well as in the context of the pattern of behavior from this account in recent weeks."
Twitter said the tweet concerning inauguration could be viewed as a further statement that the election was not legitimate.
It also said that the tweet could be interpreted as the rump saying that the inauguration would be a "safe" target for violence because he would not be attending.
The rump's other statement about American patriots suggested that "he plans to continue to support, empower, and shield those who believe he won the election," Twitter said.
