Amusingly it looks like Twitter's report system contradicts the hiding by saying there's nothing wrong with the tweet:

https://twitter.com/WhiteHouse/status/1266452015493906435

President Trump has also clarified his remarks, which is a welcome move.

If I’m reading that correctly, it’s a completely misleading assertion by @WhiteHouse. It appears as though this is in response to the quote of the original that was also reported. Given that the quote is adding a comment on to the original text, their ruling makes sense to me.

That said, it looks like they’ve hidden it as well now. So maybe they see it as an attempt to circumvent the TOS and are treating it the same way.

A plain non-technical reading of the email from Twitter doesn't describe the structure you're suggesting - so it's possible that Twitter's email template is not properly rendering the structure of the tweets.
