Search results for Trump’s handle “@realDonaldTrump” displayed a “sorry, that page no longer exists” message for a couple minutes just before 7 p.m. Eastern time.
Several Twitter users remarked on the odd occurrence, with some celebrating the news.

Earlier today @realdonaldtrump’s account was inadvertently deactivated due to human error by a Twitter employee. The account was down for 11 minutes, and has since been restored. We are continuing to investigate and are taking steps to prevent this from happening again.

Through our investigation we have learned that this was done by a Twitter customer support employee who did this on the employee’s last day. We are conducting a full internal review. https://t.co/mlarOgiaRF
