They banned the offending account, not the person.

According to CNN, Trump himself is actually banned. Hence Twitter quickly deleting the obviously Trump dictated
@POTUS tweets just now. Said they don't want to delete@POTUS or@whitehouse since they're Gov't, but will address as needed. - Show replies

everything seems to catch twitter by surprise. it's like it's nobody's job to sit and think for 20 minutes a day about what sorts of contingencies might come up and vague strategies of how to respond to those kinds of things.

like "should we suspend both accounts associated with one person if we ban one of them" seems like such a no-duh thing to answer ahead of time.
