Visitors to @realDonaldTrump were greeted with the message: "Sorry, that page doesn't exist!"
The official Twitter Government account was quick to respond.
"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."
The controversial US president has 41.7 million followers on his personal Twitter account.
He often uses the medium to make attention-grabbing statements.
Twitter were in a panic after seeing his account had vanished - while others were thankful to the Twitter employee who deactivated Trump's account.
Twitter lost a hero today.

DJT account creates notoriety. Brings them traffic, which means more ad views, which means money. No such thing as bad publicity.

Feel like I need to re-evaluate my life choices after reflecting on my reaction to Trump's Twitter.

@jack I need to very seriously tell you that the 70 seconds that Trump's twitter account went away were the happiest 70 seconds of my year.

How can @realDonaldTrump run this country, handle natural disasters & void threats of war when he can't even control his Twitter account?
