The Donald says he wants to gut the first amendment protection of the press so he can sue them for libel. Hard to complain that his rights are now being violated.
Incorrect. He wants to tighten the libel laws for public figures. Right now, anyone with a blog can outright lie and defame your character, especially a public figure without any threat of recourse.

No, he did not. All he asked for is the right not to be defamed restored after a Liberal U.S. Supreme Court denied this right, about 1964, for certain people. The United States maintained the right of Free speech for people for much more than a century before the U.S. Supreme Court decision. Trump is only asking for a reasonable restoration of the right not to be defamed with total impunity.
