Twitter has suspended President Trump from its platform, the company said Friday evening.

Twitter's decision followed two tweets by Trump Friday afternoon that would end up being his last.

The tweets violated the company's policy against glorification of violence, Twitter said, and "these two Tweets must be read in the context of broader events in the country and the ways in which the President's statements can be mobilized by different audiences, including to incite violence, as well as in the context of the pattern of behavior from this account in recent weeks."

"Goodbye Twitter" trended during the early morning hours Saturday as people continued to come to grips with the leader of the free world being banned from the social media platform.

Moments after Trump was dumped by Twitter, the website for Parler crashed, likely as a result of a crush of new users overwhelming their servers. The outage lasted less than an hour.

Google, however, has suspended Parler from its Play Store, saying Parler failed to remove "egregious content" inciting violence.

Apple has warned Parler it will remove the app from its App Store if it does not comply with its content-moderation requirements.
