Former President Donald Trump on Monday slammed Twitter as a "disgrace to democracy" after it suspended Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, one of his most vocal supporters in Congress, for spreading misinformation about COVID-19.
But he is also trying hard to get his own Twitter account restored.
"Twitter is a disgrace to democracy," Trump said in a statement issued through his spokesperson, Liz Harrington, a day after Greene was banned.
"They shouldn't be allowed to do business in this Country."

It won't surprise you to hear Twitter is fighting former President Trump's lawsuit over his ban. Bloomberg reports Twitter has asked a judge to dismiss the suit as it allegedly misinterprets and threatens the company's First Amendment free speech rights. The social network noted it was a private company that isn't obligated to host speech it doesn't like, and that Trump repeatedly violated the rules he agreed to when he chose to use the service. A forced ban reversal would challenge "bedrock principles of constitutional law," Twitter said.
Moreover, Twitter argued its editorial choices related to basic public concerns, including threats to a peaceful White House transition as well as statements that could foster "further violence." The company merely flagged Trump's tweets as misleading in the run-up to the January 6th Capitol assault, but banned him after he continued.
