Unless he wants to claim that he is, in fact, a nutter (which would make him 25th Amendment fodder) then here is why his tweets were being "censored"...it's called "free speech exceptions"...again, the biggest issue I have with it, is that it should've happened years ago as he's been spinning dangerous lies and flimflam for a long, long time.

False statements of fact[edit]
Main article: False statements of fact
In Gertz v. Robert Welch, Inc. (1974), the Supreme Court decided that there is "no constitutional value in false statements of fact".[11] However, this is not a concrete rule as the Court has struggled with how much of the "speech that matters" can be put at risk in order to punish a falsehood.[12]
The Supreme Court has established a complex framework for determining which types of false statements are unprotected.[13] There are four such areas which the Court has been explicit about. First, false statements of fact that are said with a "sufficiently culpable mental state" can be subject to civil or criminal liability.[14] Second, knowingly making a false statement of fact can sometimes be punished. Libel and slander laws fall under this category. Third, negligently false statements of fact may lead to civil liability in some instances.[15] Lastly, some implicit statements of fact—those that have a "false factual connotation"—can also fall under this exception.[16][17]"
