Trump ends free speech rights

Flagging Trump this afternoon:

"We took the freedom of speech away. Because that's been through the courts and the courts said you have freedom of speech — but what has happened is, when they burn a flag it, agitates and irritates crowds."

Protests must inlcude symbols that upset the symbol-minded. (George Carlin's riff, not my own, though I agree whole heartedly)
