I'm a bit surprised that this fight with the POTUS doesn't have a stronger influence on Twitter's stock value.

He's not moving anywhere and any Twitter controversy gets more people to tweet about that controversy... Until he forces a significant part of his followers to leave, it's not a bad situation for Twitter to be in.

That would be even better for Twitter.

Or worse, in terms of discourse. I suppose twitter is awful for something as complex as political debate, but removing an entire half of a political spectrum would only serve to further divide our country, something which the real demagogues of the world would love to capitalize on.

Trump is not half of the political spectrum, he's organized a hostile take-over of a political party that was vulnerable to such take-overs.

There's a reason he got elected, and it isn't because of some minority group in the US.

I would suggest that maybe Hillary Clinton's campaign and candidacy alienated many people in the center. In my mind, that seems to be the simplest explanation for the existence of Obama-Trump voters.
