This is the crux of the problem. In multiple interviews, @jack has said Trump's tweets are newsworthy and wouldn't directly answer what it would take to get the president reprimanded or removed.

But what happens when another world leader tweets a threat?https://t.co/km7KFOn4Qw
Here's a link to the policy the tweet specifically violated: https://t.co/wzav3GNLP3

The @khamenei_ir account will go into read-only mode until the offending tweet is deleted by the user. (The account hasn't tweeted since yesterday.) The public will also not be able to see the tweet.
— Ryan Mac (@RMac18) February 15, 2019
So far, no suspension or removal of the account, according to Twitter spox.
A Twitter spokesperson just said this tweet from Iran's leader violated its terms of service and has been made unavailable.

"It's against our rules to make specific threats of violence or wish for the serious physical harm, death, or disease of an individual or group of people." pic.twitter.com/LvLmIHQDFd
Twitter can't even enforce its insane rules properly. If they allow Trump tweets on the basis of newsworthiness regardless of TOS violations, this would certainly be allowed in the same way. https://t.co/4OQu9OagOr

Asked why @khamenei_ir wasn't suspended (even temporarily), a Twitter spox said "the enforcement was at the tweet level" and that they have nothing more to share.

Twitter has previously used a newsworthiness standard to defend its refusal to apply abuse and harassment rules to Trump’s account.
