Not according to Trump.
He only pivoted to the First Amendment stuff after his "MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENT" bombed.

The far-right streamer and Jan. 6 rioter known as “Baked Alaska” labeled former President Donald Trump a mere “nft salesman” after his teased “big announcement” flopped Thursday.
Trump riled up much of the political world Wednesday when he took to his account on Truth Social to hype a “major announcement” that ended up being a $99.00 NFT trading card of himself dressed as a superhero. The announcement drew mockery, ridicule, and concern from conservatives.
Baked Alaska is a White nationalist former MAGA streamer whose legal name is Anthime Joseph Gionet. He was among many who gave Trump’s latest money-making venture an icy reception.
Four days after his banned Twitter account was reinstated by Elon Musk, he tweeted, “[I] can’t believe [I’m] going to jail for an nft salesman,” he wrote.
Gionet pleaded guilty to assaulting a security guard at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. He has been sentenced to 30 days in jail but is currently waiting to begin serving the sentence.
Gionet streamed the attack online and the footage has been used in multiple cases against rioters.
The comments should be interesting…
Well chief, it’s like this. You’re an idiot for breaking into the nation’s capital just to piss on Nanzi Pelosi’s laptop.
Trump is mixing messages and thereby losing battles.
The true Dec 15 Trump announcement was actually the following video (TRANSCRIPT BELOW):

In the General/Chat forum, on a thread titled Q ~ Trust Trump's Plan ~ 12/13/2022 Vol.441, Q Day 1872, COUNTrecount wrote: Transcript of Trump’s December 15 Announcement about Censorship, and Free Speech
If we don’t have free speech, we don’t have a free country. It’s as simple as that. If this most fundamental right is allowed to perish, the rest of our rights and liberties will topple, like dominoes.
That’s why today I’m announcing my plan to shatter the leftwing censorship regime, and to reclaim the right to free speech for all Americans. And reclaim is a very important word in this case, because they’ve taken it away.
In recent weeks, bombshell reports have confirmed a sinister group of deep state bureaucrats, Silicon Valley tyrants, left wing activists, and depraved corporate news media, have been conspiring to manipulate and silence the American people. They have collaborated to suppress vital information on everything from elections to public health. The censorship cartel must be dismantled and destroyed, and it must happen immediately.
Here is my plan.
First, within hours of my inauguration, I will sign an executive order, banning any federal department or agency from colluding with any organization, business, or person to censor, limit, categorize or impede the lawful speech of American citizens. I will then ban federal money from being used to label domestic speech to be labeled as mis or disinformation. And I will begin the process of identifying and firing every federal bureaucrat who has engaged in domestic censorship, directly or indirectly, whether they are the Department of Homeland Security, the Department of Health and Human Services, the FBI, the DOJ, no matter who they are.
Second, I will order the DOJ to investigate all parties involved in the new online censorship regime, which is absolutely destructive and terrible, and to aggressively prosecute any and all crimes identified. These crimes include possible violations of federal civil rights law, camp finance laws, federal election laws, securities laws, anti-trust laws, the Hatch Act, and a host of other potential criminal, civil, regulatory and Constitutional offenses.
To assist in these efforts, I am urging House Republicans to immediately send preservation letters. We have to do this right now. To the Biden administration, the Biden campaign, and every Silicon Valley tech giant, ordering them not to destroy evidence of censorship.
Third, upon my inauguration as president, I will ask Congress to send a bill to my desk revising Section 230. To get big online platforms out of censorship business. From now on, digital platforms should only qualify for immunity protection under Section 230 if they meet high standards of neutrality, transparency, fairness, and non-discrimination. We should require these platforms to increase their efforts to take down unlawful content such as child exploitation, and promoting terrorism while dramatically curtailing their power to arbitrarily restrict lawful speech.
Fourth, we need to break up the entire toxic censorship industry that has arisen under the false guise of tackling so called mis and disinformation. The federal government should immediately stop funding all nonprofits and academic programs that support this authoritarian project.
If any US university is discovered to have engaged in censorship activities, or election interference in the past, such as flagging social media content for removal, or blacklisting, those universities should lose federal research dollars, and federal student loan support for a period of five years, and maybe more.
We should also enact new laws laying out clear criminal penalties for federal bureaucrats who partner with private entities to do an end run around the Constitution, and deprive Americans of their First, Fourth, and Fifth Amendment rights. In other words, deprive them of their vote. And once you lose your elections, and once you lose your borders like we have, you no longer have a country.
Furthermore, to confront the problems of major platforms being infiltrated by legions of former deep-staters and intelligence officials, there should be a seven year cooling-off period before any employee of the FBI, CIA, NSA, DNI, DHS, or DOD is allowed to take a job at a company possessing vast quantities of US user data.
Fifth, the time has finally come for Congress to pass a digital bill of rights. This should include a right to digital due process. In other words, government offs should need a court order to take down online content; not send information requests such as the FBI was sending to twitter.
Furthermore, when users of big online platforms have their content or accounts removed, throttled, shadow-banned, or otherwise restricted, no matter what name they use, they should have the right to be informed that it’s happening; the right to a specific explanation of the reason why, and the right to a timely appeal. In addition, all users over the age of 18 should have the right to opt out of content moderation and curation entirely, and receive an unmanipulated stream of information, if they so choose.
The fight for free speech is a matter of victory or death for American, and for the survival of western civilization itself. When I am president, this whole rotten system of censorship and information control will be ripped out of the system at large. There won’t be anything left.
By restoring free speech, we will begin to reclaim our democracy and save our nation. Thank you, and God bless America.
Maybe, but I wouldn't say, "When you've lost 'Baked Alaska' you've lost America."
Repeat LOUD and OFTEN.......................
Sure. That’s why the NFT post on TS had the words “major announcement” in big bold letters at the beginning.
That's the way I've always seen it. And, they handed the Democrats an issue they've been milking successfully for nearly two years.
Trump could punt a baby on live tv and the devout would call it 8-D chess.
Not according to Trump.
He only pivoted to the First Amendment stuff after his "MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENT" bombed.
Democrats grift off the government. Republicans grift off their supporters.
No, that wasn’t “The Plan.”
From the article: “Trump riled up much of the political world Wednesday when he took to his account on Truth Social to hype a “major announcement” that ended up being a $99.00 NFT trading card of himself dressed as a superhero”
And people make fun of Joe Biden’s mental condition.
It is to laugh. 
Haven’t you got quaxxcines to pimp?
Oh yeah..... one $99 NFT is now worth $450.
He needed the money.
BTW, I like the SUPERHERO NFT.

Fickle loyalty is now gauche, and the lefty BLM/ANTIFA espionage machine is in full swing to demoralize everyone in MAGA.
I thought the superman card quite appropriate.
“THey are not after me, they are afytr you. I am just in the way” ( Donald Trump).
The Super man card has enraged the left. Let them pop at the seams.
BUahahahahahahaha!
Do not ask for whom president Trump trolls.
He trolls for thee!
