Unless you think Twitter was lying in https://blog.twitter.com/en_us/topics/company/2020/suspensio..., that last tweet was the call to violently disrupt the inauguration in POTUS’ absence that was the final straw.

Do you have a screenshot? Maybe Twitter posted it?

What you are saying is not the last tweet from Trump I saw.

It’s in the blog post that I linked to, which quotes the tweet that you seem to be referring to.

This is from the blog [..]On January 8, 2021, President Donald J. Trump Tweeted: “The 75,000,000 great American Patriots who voted for me, AMERICA FIRST, and MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN, will have a GIANT VOICE long into the future. They will not be disrespected or treated unfairly in any way, shape or form!!!” Shortly thereafter, the President Tweeted: “To all of those who have asked, I will not be going to the Inauguration on January 20th.”[..]

I don’t see what you are reading from it. Do you want to translate?

In context, Twitter sees this as encouraging the violent minority of his supporters to do whatever they like at the inauguration, since he will not be there, only Pence, Biden and Harris.
