The first indication of Twitter’s move was when the automated “Trump Alert” account noted that a number of accounts they follow had stopped following him:

We’ll keep you posted once we find out what happened:

Bill Mitchell looked like Stephen Baldwin in a Max Headroom reboot, with his soft-serve vanilla-ass hairdo. He will probably be back on Twitter next week but in the meantime, pouring one out for a legend pic.twitter.com/EcLnrdqPYN
