The First Amendment recognizes our God-given right to freedom of speech and freedom of the press because the Founders understood the role of free communication in holding elected officials accountable.

Yes, but the Founders didn't realize the importance of having fact-checkers review all speech, including free speech.

Yes, they did... but you have to put on your secret Benjamin Franklin tri-color decoder glasses to see it.

Amendment 1

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

A great campaign ad could be a collage of Trump statements that were treated as fantasies by the left, accompanied by their looks of amazement and laughter with the laugh tracks getting louder, followed by a quick, one second vindication statement after each, ending with silence while Trump says they are bring us to WWIII.
