Honestly the right will freak out about this and scream some form of left wing censorship, but...

The first amendment only extends to government laws. Twitter, as a private entity has no obligation or legal requirement to give hateful speech a soapbox, even when it's promoted by the "leader of the free world."

They would lose millions of users, but they might ultimately provide a net benefit to the future of western democracy if they simply banned Donald Trump from twitter.
