As it turns out, this was due to "human error by a Twitter employee." > During the 11 minutes his account was down, Twitter was abuzz with speculation about what had happened: Did the social network ban the president of the United States for something he said? Was he suddenly in violation of new policy regarding hate speech? Did it have something to do with the hearings on Capitol Hill about Russian trolls using social media to sow division among the American people?
