He/his staff can still use it, but not to re-post the tweets that got him banned (or more like them).
It's not locked/suspended - people have the ability to retweet/reply to previous tweets on it.

Re: U.S Election 2020
I read the reasons twitter gave for banning him.
They basically read as ;
"we are absolutely desperate to get rid of you, so we have 'interpreted' your tweets in the most wierd & obscure way we possibly could, to justify our actions"
I dont use TWITer so I wont miss him, and neither I suspect will most people, but the excuses given were very flimsey at best.

Twitter didn't need to explain in detail why they banned his personal account, but they did. Given his previous incitement of the failed coup and the threat for this to be repeated, Twitter have acted with remarkable self-restraint.
Perhaps this has something to do with the usage of Twitter that Trump's active Tweeting has encouraged. "Never kill the goose that lays the golden egg, until you absolutely have to" seems to be the situation here.

Re: U.S Election 2020
Perhaps it was because the day ended with a "y".

There's not many instances of people 'overstepping the mark', causing deaths/insurrection/invasion of a national assembly, hoping to subvert a democratic vote, and possibly causing an international crisis/instabity.
Those in power, and that have that influence, need to behave better than any old interweb troll.

Re: U.S Election 2020
Twitter have a difficult problem with Trump because in isolation what he has been saying probably isn't enough to ban him entirely but faced with his following and the context of the violence on Wednesday there is always the risk he kicks things off again.
Now they're going to be forever faced with questions of 'why isn't 'y' banned'? The line is clearly flexible and based on judgement calls.

No, it's based on who you vote for.

It’s based on actions, which is aligned, in this case, with how they voted...
They gave him free reign for 10 years because it got them more subscribers - that was the issue, not the fact they finally worked up enough gumption to stop his rants that gave those who stormed the Capitol tacit support.

Re: U.S Election 2020
The stories of what happened on Wednesday are coming out and what we're seeing is that this came close to be even worse. People had turned up with weapons, in one case pipebombs, and with zip ties as at least some of them were trying to find senators. There were chants of 'Hang Mike Pence'. Also staff of Nancy Pelosi were in an office beyond her office that had been invaded, one door away from the protestors who thankfully didn't inquire enough to break in further. One person has been arrested after he turned up with a rifle and had told people on social media that he wanted to shoot Pelsoi: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...cy-Pelosi.html
It's unbelievable how bad it almost became. It is terrorism.

It's pretty unbelievable for this to have occurred in what is a mature democracy.
