Absolutely, and they'd have to ban more than half their users.
Meanwhile, Trump would merely head to a competitor and everyone would follow. It would be the end of Twitter.
I don't think you guys have thought this through(no surprise there). IF Trump were to do something along these lines, it would have a dramatic and negative impact on basically the entire gamut of user generated content on the internet.
Do you guys not understand what happens when you fxxk with the entire internet? Popularity, which is pretty vital for a politician, is not the result.

It would have a positive effect, it would require platforms to act as platforms rather than publishers. It would lead to less censorship and more free speech. Those who wished to act as publishers would die and be quickly replaced by better options.
So, really it would just be bad for abusive companies that wanted to push ideology and interfere in elections and other aspects of life. It would be good for everyone else.

Lol no. The change in question would make websites legally liable for content published by their users. It will absolutely decimate content on the internet and either destroy user published content altogether or drasticly increase censorship of content as company's desperately try to decrease their legal exposure.

I think you fundamentally misunderstand what he's likely to do. The only thing Trump would have to do to completely destroy Twitter is to have their Section 130 protections taken away since they are operating as a publisher rather than a platform. Doing so would in no way restrict anyone's free speech, it would merely be applying the law accurately to Twitter. If they want Section 130 protections, they can make the relevant changes and dedicate themselves to being a platform rather than a publisher.....and they'd have to stop editorializing and censoring people in order to do that.
Free speech wins if Trump slaps around Twitter.
No more mods.......
I suppose same would apply to all social media, including discussion boards like CD. That would turn them into cesspools of porn, foul language and personal attacks.
Sounds like a pretty bad idea, and as such, a typical one from Trump.
How about giving private companies the freedom to decide how they want to moderate their boards? Just an idea....
All this just because Trump hurt his delicate feelings.
