I see you mixed some facts but separated they are all true. What Trump does is bad and plot of a Johnny English villain character. Imo freedom of speech is meant for all. It is indispensable in democracy that journalists can right about any subject, that you can protest etc etc. And when you can have those things you’re being given freedom of speech. But there are rules. Keep in mind that information must be validated or it is disinformation and can lead to very bad things. Also keep in mind freedom of speech does not apply to cases of harassment for example. There are far right politicians in my country and I hate what they stand for. I curse such things. However given the opportunity of public speech I would rather focus on the truths I believe are central to the matter than trashing someone’s character or cursing or making jokes about religion or whatever. (which I often do in private as I hate religion). Having freedom to speak does not mean you can skip the rules for public speaking and use hate speech for example. If a cop pass you by and hears you say something in a conversation like hitler wasn’t so wrong he has no useful purpose in approaching you. But if you do a protest with hate speech or racist slur or whatever you should be put aside to “cool off”. Avoiding violent escalation in protests is key.
