You really don’t understand the concept of “context” do you? You might want to learn what it means, then go back and listen, before thinking of resuming this conversation as I have no interest in continuing a conversation with someone who doesn’t even understand the basic concept of “context”.

So still no luck. There was no context in Trump’s words. It was a threat. Listen to the terms he uses. You made a claim about a position he took that he himself never did. I was even trying to help you and tried to find the position you claimed he took. He wasn’t talking about restoring the First Amendment. Threatening media outlets with lawsuits isn’t restoring the 1st Amendment. Protecting a Christian baker’s right to not have to bake a cake for a gay wedding without the threat of a lawsuit is restoring the First Amendment. As is protecting a conservative student on a college campus from faculty backlash for not conforming to their speech codes.
Folks, this is the big problem with Trump. He makes statements that even his supporters know is harmful but instead of disagreeing with him, they soothe themselves by saying people are taking him out of context. They can’t disagree with him because they are too far invested in him. Yet, they’ll tell you all these wonderful things he’s gonna do in the next sentence. So they dismiss his own words but believe in things that have not happened yet. It would be comical if the stakes weren’t so high
