Yes. There is more expected from a leader in the free world. But maybe you are simply illustrating exactly what people support who support Trump and divisive conservatism.
Trump doesn't even come close to the inflammatory rhetoric of the aforementioned terrorist groups. He should not be censored.
Yeah his rhetoric is totally inflammatory and deserved to get kicked off after many warnings......now he's pleading on his knees with the courts to let him back in.....meanwhile, the terrorist groups on facebook and twitter are a little brighter than Trump in that they don't use words that would get them get kicked off those platforms. The bottom line is that Trump is an idiot and tweets the first thing that comes to his mind, which is usually garbage.

Enter the Washington Post on Wednesday to defend Twitter. The Post published what amounted to a defense of the Taliban's "strikingly sophisticated" social media prowess and juxtaposed it with Donald Trump's.

“For a group that espouses ancient moral codes, the Afghan Taliban has used strikingly sophisticated social media tactics to build political momentum and, now that they’re in power, to make a public case that they’re ready to lead a modern nation state after nearly 20 years of war,” two of the Post’s technology reporters wrote.

"The answer, analysts said, may simply be that Trump’s posts for years challenged platform rules against hate speech and inciting violence," the piece adds. "Today’s Taliban, by and large, does not."

Again - More is expected from a leader of the free world. Everyone knows what those "religious" groups do and say. So it can be an issue of freedom of religion. Whereas Trump did exactly the same. He riled up the Qanon and evangelical and backwood religious groups into a frenzy and they attacked the white house. The idea that the other groups are worse because they are foreign actors - is a big part of the current domestic problem. The new normal will be the door kicking and opposition we saw overseas - in America. And I think that is a good thing. If these maniacs want to cause mayhem then they will be held accountable. There was even a judge who recently gave a harsher sentence than usual to a loony Jan 6 criminal to make a point. Which is great.

And with Trump, the US had a great president. Now...not so much.
