US President Donald Trump's @realdonaldtrump Twitter account
was deactivated by a Twitter employee who was leaving the company on Thursday
and was down for 11 minutes before it was restored, the social media company
said.
Anyone who went to his page was given the generic blue landing
page that read, "Sorry, that page doesn't exist!"
It was later learned that it wasn't
a glitch but the work of a Twitter employee on his or her last day at work.
Initially, one of the social media site's verified accounts said Trump's feed
was "inadvertently deactivated due to a human error."
But a couple of hours later,
Twitter announced further investigation revealed "a Twitter customer
support employee did this on the employee's last day." The company
said it's conducting "a full internal review" of the incident.

He has 41.7 million followers on Twitter.Through our investigation we have learned that this was done by a Twitter customer support employee who did this on the employee’s last day.
