The account returned shortly after it vanished. You can click here to see it live.
The reason this happened? Well, Twitter first said, "Earlier today @realdonaldtrump's account was inadvertently deactivated due to human error by a Twitter employee. The account was down for 11 minutes, and has since been restored. We are continuing to investigate and are taking steps to prevent this from happening again."
