What happened to Donald Trump's Twitter

Trump's Twitter handle has been permanently banned owing to the repeated violations of the platform's policy by the president, including the recurrent posting of unfounded claims about a "rigged election". Ever since Trump lost the election to Joe Biden, he has been continuously levelling baseless allegations, claiming election fraud and irregularities, often sharing conspiracy theories on Twitter. On several occasions, Twitter had to flag Trump's posts regarding the election, often attaching a warning underneath, saying the "above-mentioned information is inaccurate" or "please visit the official election website for more information about the presidential polls".
