As I understand it, Twitter has stated that they reserve the right to suspend anyone's account as they see fit. So my question is, would America be better off if Twitter just booted Trump off of their service? As a private company, they are not required to provide service to him, and it could be argued that his use of Twitter causes enough harm in various ways to warrant suspension.

A few for/against arguments I can see:

For:
1. Trump often uses Twitter to bully people, and even a single tweet directed at a random person can bring a lot of harassment and frustration to that individual.
2. His inability to stop venting on Twitter may have already caused him future legal problems, and probably will continue to do so.
3. His tweets contribute little more than headaches for the Republican Party.

Against:
1. Freedom of speech etc etc
2. The longer Trump tweets idiotic crap, the longer he keeps himself unpopular and hurts the GOP's brand.

Another question might be - would Trump and/or Republicans retaliate in some way against Twitter for such action?
And how are we suppose to get news from the White House, true Sean Spicer.
