Reporting POTUS to twitter for harassment:

"Even considering his past, Donald Trump is having a banner week in terms of flying his misogyny flag. Earlier this week he was so brazen and assured of his charm and power that he harassed a female reporter from Ireland in the Oval Office on camera. Rather than take stock of his actions, which were roundly admonished by the reporter, Caitriona Perry, when she posted the video on Twitter, calling his behavior “bizarre,” he doubled down on his misogyny and went on a Twitter rant Thursday morning taunting Morning Joe’s Mika Brzezinski about a bloody face-lift she’d supposedly had. Now model Rain Dove has called for Twitter users to report him for abusive tweets. "

........................................................

"We may suspend an account if it has been reported to us as violating our Rules surrounding abuse. When an account engages in abusive behavior, like sending threats to others or impersonating other accounts, we may suspend it temporarily or, in some cases, permanently."

However, last summer Twitter released a statement saying it was reviewing its policy on “hateful conduct” to include more "types of abusive behavior" and make it easier to report the abuse. "

Here is where you report a twitter harasser:

For one thing, I have a feeling somebody on Mueller's team is playing close attention to Trump's twitter feed re the obstruction of justice investigation.

down. That is the best thing we have to alienate Repubs, possibly get to the 25th Amendment, and to know how crazy he is as time goes on.

It's like having a wire and video recording device to see the enemy base office. It would be nuts to shut it down because we are getting all kinds of info that we need.

Please withdraw your request to shut it down. I'm not on Twitter, but feel free to post my opinion, if youagree.

What the world needs is more Trump tweets. His tweets will (I hope) lead to his downfall. If nothing else, as long as he's tweeting he's not destroying the world.
