FOR eleven sweet minutes on Thursday, Twitter was free from the presence of America's child president.
US President Donald Trump's Twitter account disappeared from the social media site on Thursday, instead directing curious users to a "Sorry, that page doesn't exist!" message.
The account was brough back online after 11 minutes, during which time Trump was unable to attack transgender folk or claim that there were good people 'on both sides'.
Following a quick investigation it was revealed that an employee had deactivated the @realDonaldTrump account on their last day of the job, proving once again that not all heroes wear capes.
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. We are conducting a full internal review. https://t.co/mlarOgiaRF

Trump regularly uses his account to reach out to his 41.7 million followers, often tweeting controversial or laughable statements and attacking just about everyone - except for white supremacist groups.
In a surprising move Trump did not threaten Twitter HQ with fire and fury the likes of which the world has never seen, instead using his first tweet after the incident to discuss tax cuts for the rich.
He later tweeted that a rogue employee had deleted his twitter account as "the word must be finally getting out - and having an impact", seemingly unaware that as the 45th President of the United States and leader of the free world, he already has the means to share "the word" literally anywhere and no-one is stopping him.
Which "word" Trump was thinking of at the moment is also currently unclear, though in April of this year he claimed "I'm very highly educated. I know words. I have the best words" so we can only assume it's a good one.
Twitter maintain that the only reason his account has not been deleted permanently before now is because his tweets remain "newsworthy".
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
