The crackdown on the president's Twitter usage predictably infuriated Trump. He went "ballistic," a senior administration official told Politico.
After the ban, Trump tweeted from the official @POTUS Twitter account but his posts were almost immediately deleted. Similarly, the president then tried in vain to share a message from his @TeamTrump account. This was deleted and the account was suspended.
The official also said Trump was "scrambling to figure out what his options are," according to Politico. In a now-deleted tweet, Trump said he'd been "negotiating with various other sites" and would have a big announcement soon.
Trump's banishment from Twitter - the platform that has defined much of his presidency - was met with both outrage and glee online. His critics celebrated his account being disabled, most notably Hillary Clinton.
