In 2017 a rogue twitter employee suspended Donal Trump's account on last day at the job. Did the world politics change in that downtime?

The account was only suspended for like 17 minutes, and it’s not clear the POTUS even noticed. So no, no impact to world politics.

  • One week of A/B testing would an ideal experiment for social scientists studying impact of world leader's tweets on the world news. Almost a utopia.
