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.

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

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.
