I remember reading something about how in old Twitter high profile political figures and representatives were allowed more leniency in how their account were moderated because it was considered more important that their message be seen out in the open. There's still some lines that shouldn't be crossed, but I don't think it's unreasonable to apply different standards for world leaders when their words carry the weight of their country. When a diplomat visits a foreign country they also don't have the same laws applied to them, broadly speaking.
Trump in particular was limit testing constantly, and eventually it became clear that he crossed too many lines. We also have the benefit of being able to look back and see that all of his attempts at proving the elections were rigged have failed in the courts.
