I couldn't care less for the politics of the USA, but it is mildly amusing that twitter are trolling one of their most prominent users.

...and a particularly thinly skinned user.

... it is just as if they were intentionally trying to stir controversy, so that more and more people join the trollfest

I don't see what's so controversial about applying their rules to one of their users.

There's nothing preventing Trump for saying 'I made a hasty remark in a moment of anger, and will maintain a more thoughtful and respectful tone in the future.' It's inarguable that Twitter has been very, very accommodating of him and tried the hands-off approach for a long time while explaining their reasons for doing so to their other users.
