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.

Moderating a prominent troll and raising the standards to the level of every other user, is not really politics.

Oh, but it is. It is when the prominent troll is also POTUS.

You and Twitter may want it to not be politics... But unfortunately both doing nothing and doing something are political moves by Twitter HQ, I'm afraid.

If we ingore context, but without it this wouldn't be discussed.

To define Donald as a troll is also political statement.
