Poor Donald Trump.。
Even the most optimistic forecasts for Tuesday's election only give him a one-in-three chance of winning and now he's suffered the indignity of having his Twitter account taken away from him by those running his campaign.。

Sad!。
But there's a case to be made that the campaign shouldn't have stepped in and interfered with Trump's tweeting tirades. Sure, his tweets are full of insults and horrible invective, but there are a few reasons why they should just hand him back his phone and let him get on with it. 。
It's too late, so why stop now? Seriously, this is the guy who retweeted white supremacists and a Mussolini tweetbot, and dropped a pre-sunrise tweetstorm accusing a Miss Universe contestant of having a sex tape (it was totally unsubstantiated). You're going to try to convince us that he's a totally chill guy who has no temper problem。now 。

Give the people, all of them, what they want: an unfiltered view of an unmitigated tire fire of a campaign.。
The Tao of Trump。
But it's not just his celebrity gossip that has people reading. There's body-shaming, too!。

Trump made Twitter relevant in an election 。
There's been a lot made of how Twitter is struggling, especially in the era of Snapchat. But Trump's use of Twitter as an outlet for whatever the hell seems to pop into his brain at any damn moment has galvanized Twitter users to swarm to the service when something happened.。
Admit it: Every time a new controversy erupted or something weird happened on the trail, your first instinct was to grab some popcorn and tune into his account just to see how he reacted. 。

Not only that, but many users, this site included, used Twitter to disseminate what Trump (as well as his followers) was doing and saying. Sure, it's hard to get nuance into 140 characters, but nuance is not something Trump is really known for.。

Reporters like CBS's Sopan Deb and NBC's Katy Tur have shared quotes, images, and videos from Trump's (many, many) controversial moments. Every time Trump said something dumb or threatening -- which was often -- the moments were instantly within arms reach of a user. 。
And it wasn't just Trump who benefitted from Twitter. Hillary Clinton's team found a way to use her Twitter account to respond to Trump's Twitter account in terms that "the kids these days" understand. (Just be thankful neither candidate used the phrase "on fleek.") 。

Trump (and his supporters) highlighted Twitter's biggest flaw 。
But here's the flip-side to that previous point: Twitter has long had a horrendous harassment problem, an issue that got even more attention thanks to Trump and the outrageous behavior of his supporters (especially when Trump surrogates fan the flames on Twitter).。

The harassment that takes place on social media platforms is inexcusable yet inescapable and it's hardly limited to the realm of politics (see this summer's attack on actress Leslie Jones). 。
