For Trump, it’s not about hate speech, but about speech that he hates
— namely, speech that is critical of him and his administration.
He has suggested that a clutch of protesters who yelled at him in a restaurant be prosecuted under laws targeting mobsters.
He demanded that multiple late-night comics who mocked him be taken off air.
He threatened to shutter television broadcasters that he deemed unfair to him.
He sued The New York Times for allegedly damaging his reputation.
And that was just last week.
