What kind of correction or retraction would you be looking for? That is explicitly Twitter policy[1].
Trump may have eventually crossed a line. That doesn't mean his line was in the same place as other people's.

- SoftTalker 4y agoOf course the line isn't the same for everyone. Some people (such as presidents) are a lot more influential and consequential than others. Nobody cares what Joe Random thinks about something and if he crosses a line nobody cares if he's silenced. Trump isn't the only one who had a different line, though his was probably looser than anyone else got. Any celebrity or public figure is going to have more leeway in what he or she is allowed to say.
