President Donald Trump was permanently banned from Twitter on Friday, and is currently barred either temporarily or permanently from a mix of other social media platforms.
The consequences of the Capitol riots could extend to the early removal of Trump from the presidency, with Congress exploring both articles of impeachment and urging Vice President Mike Pence to invoke the 25th amendment to remove Trump this week.
