How is this a problem? 
They should be commended for helping moderate hate speech on their platform.

The problem is who determines what is hate speech and what is not. Political speech shouldn't be moderated or considered hate speech but today that is the norm. Democratic Party political propaganda seeks to divide people by skin color, gender, religious beliefs and sexual orientation for the sole purpose of favoring some groups while blaming and hating others. Voices opposing them are considered hate speech and are censored on some social media platforms.
Meanwhile true hate speech continues on Twitter and is ignored.
Individual rights like free speech shouldn't depend on gender, skin color, religion, sexual orientation and/or political affiliations.

Are those things, by chance, hateful things?
Perhaps that's why they're being categorized as hate speech. Just a hunch.

It is well known that twitter is left-leaning.
It is supposed to be a 'Platform', so it shouldn't censor to favour their political leaning, but they obviously do.

Access to a platform isn't a right, it's a privilege. Trump was banned for persistent ToS violations. They don't owe him their service as a fluffer, especially when he's already been perma-b&.
They wouldn't promote an ISIS leader's speech, no matter how popular that leader was. Why should other terrorist leaders not be treated similarly?

Ding ding ding. Just because a politician says a thing doesn't make it solely political speech that should be allowed to be said regardless of what it is. Hateful views & terrible things are still exactly those and are deserving of censorship, criticism, or even criminal investigation.

To be fair, since he's a wealthy man of the correct complexion and political leanings, his hate speech was historically protected so the freak-out alt-right types are having isn't that unreasonable. Historically we've been far too protective of incitement when it comes from certain segments of the political spectrum.
Trump and his supporters don't need to be judged because of their skin colour, the demonstrated contents of their characters are adequate enough to make one judge them negatively.

Kicking someone off a forum for repeatedly violating the site rules isn't censorship, and neither is Twitter another of your left-wing bogeymen.
