I think a major problem and source of toxicity with twitter is it has become an acceptable and cheap source for journalists to get quotes from celebrities and politicians that Facebook and other social media platforms have not yet gotten the same traction. On the flip side it is an easy way to get a quote out there without having to answer/dodge follow up questions. Trump's power was not his twitter followers, but that anything outrageous he tweeted became front page news.
