I think Twitter should have a concept of silent ban i.e. only people that are following the account can see someone's tweet and other's could see that only by opening full link and not through search. While it was obvious that Trump's tweet was causing negative emotions in people, it is also clear that Trump had other sources in which he could express opinions and it was liberal newspaper who are the first to report that he said something wrong.

As far as I understand all the major platforms do this all the time, and it’s called a shadow ban. Often they even stop showing to followers, you just get blended out of the algorithm

  That's not the same. A shadow ban makes your post invisible to all but the poster.

    Hmm, in my experience on instagram the type of ban meant the person I followers posts just didn’t end up in my feed/timeline/algo But if I went to their profile I would still see them
