> there are certain cases where it may be in the public’s interest to have access to certain Tweets, even if they would otherwise be in violation of our rules. On the rare occasions when this happens, we'll place a notice – a screen you have to click or tap through before you see the Tweet – to provide additional context and clarity. We’ll also take steps to make sure the Tweet is not algorithmically elevated on our service

Thanks.

The actual text (not POTUS specific):

Who does this apply to?

We will only consider applying this notice on Tweets from accounts that meet the following criteria. The account must:

- Be or represent a government/elected official, be running for public office, or be considered for a government position (i.e., next in line, awaiting confirmation, named successor to an appointed position);

- Have more than 100,000 followers;

- Be verified.
