" I'm completely surprised actually. The bigger news is that they didn't let him back on because he's worth so much money to the social media companies."
Facebook doesn't need Trump. They're going to be making billions regardless.
They also have to deal with the current US government, where Trump and his supporters' fortunes are on the wane, and a lot of powerful people (of whom Trump has made enemies) are questioning Facebook and other social media platforms for giving Trump a megaphone.
Of course, there are also Trump supporters who want the opposite, but politically they just don't matter as much right now.
In the current political climate, the surprise would have been their letting him back on.
