President Donald Trump on Tuesday retweeted an account rife with conspiracy theories. Later that day, Twitter suspended the account.

The account, which had the display name LYNN THOMAS and the handle @LYNNTHO06607841, tweeted a meme calling Democrats "the true enemies of America," accompanied by the words "DEMOCRATS ARE THE ONLY ONES INTERFERING IN OUR ELECTIONS."

The Vox reporter Aaron Rupar screenshotted the president's retweet.

Rupar also spotted that the account had posted a meme accusing Bill and Hillary Clinton of torturing and killing children.

Later Tuesday, Twitter suspended the account. Citing a source familiar with the matter, the Daily Beast reported that it was suspended because it broke Twitter's rules preventing users from having multiple accounts "to artificially amplify or disrupt conversations," suggesting that it could have been a bot account.

Twitter was not immediately available for comment when contacted by Business Insider.

This isn't the first time Trump has retweeted questionable accounts.

Last year, Trump apologized for retweeting a video from Britain First, an anti-Islam far-right group.

In May, following a Facebook clampdown on hate speech, the president retweeted a slew of conspiracy theorists and far-right figures.

Trump also has a history of retweeting bots, hundreds of which Twitter has linked to Russian influence campaigns.

The president has posed a particular problem for Twitter, as his tweets fall under the platform's definition of "newsworthy." Critics have called on Twitter to enforce its community guidelines with his more violent tirades.

Twitter has announced that it will label tweets from public figures, Trump included, that break its rules, meaning users who want to see the tweet would have to click past a card saying it violated rules on "dehumanization," for example.

But how Twitter will enforce this is still unclear. After Trump tweeted this month that four congresswomen of color should "go back" to the countries "from which they came," Twitter said the tweet didn't violate its rules but declined to explain why.
