Twitter disagrees that this statement is a "specific threat of violence".
"Elected world leaders play a critical role in that conversation due to their outsized impact on our society", the post said. "Blocking a world leader from Twitter or removing their controversial Tweets, would hide important information people should see and debate".
Critics said that tweet and Trump's continued presence on the network endanger the world and violate Twitter's ban on threats of violence.
Tuesday on ABC's "The View", while discussing President Donald Trump's tweet about nuclear buttons and North Korea, co-host Joy Behar said Trump was anxious about Federal Bureau of Investigation special counsel Robert Mueller's Russian Federation probe and therefore he would "blow the whole world up so his stupid sons don't have to go to jail".
Sean Hannity called out the media for "breathlessly" covering President Trump's tweet about North Korea and his war of words with Steve Bannon, while ignoring all the positive things that he's accomplishing.
On Tuesday night in San Francisco, protesters projected a message directed at Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey on Twitter's main building. They have made exceptions in the past for government and military officials, and also take into consideration the newsworthiness of posts. But the ability to conduct politics, activism, punditry, and even diplomacy via Twitter has always been a core feature of the service.

Mr Trump was criticised last month by the British prime minister Theresa May for re-tweeting three inflammatory videos posted by a far-right group.
But in December, Twitter deleted Fransen's entire account, apparently as part of its crackdown on violent extremist groups.
It's also not clear if there is an instance in which Twitter would remove a world leader's messages or account.
"Twitter said the company reviews tweets by world leaders "within the political context that defines them" and then "[enforces] our rules accordingly".
"No one person's account drives Twitter's growth, or influences these decisions", the company added.
"To help ensure people have an opportunity to see every side of an issue, there may be the rare occasion when we allow controversial content or behavior which may otherwise violate our Rules to remain on our service because we believe there is a legitimate public interest in its availability."In a short statement posted to their blog, Twitter have explained why that is.
