If Donald Trump was truly offended by the suppression of free speech abroad, wouldn't he have at least been publicly critical of Vladimir Putin and Russia, at some point? The Russian Constitution provides for freedom of speech, but that hasn't been worth the paper it's printed on under Vladimir Putin. Putin routinely has Russian citizens imprisoned and sometimes even killed, for peacefully protesting the oppressive policies of the Russian government.Trump Administration Sent Team to Investigate Free Speech Violations in Britain: Report

The Trump administration reportedly dispatched a team to meet with victims of Britain’s draconian speech restrictions amid growing concerns over the state of liberty in the United Kingdom.
A group of five diplomats from the U.S. State Department were recently sent on a fact-finding mission in March to Britain to meet with pro-life activists who have been arrested for silently praying outside abortion clinics in the UK, The Telegraph reports.
The Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor (DRL) team also met with UK Foreign Office officials and members of the Ofcom broadcasting regulator, which was recently empowered to police speech on the internet in Britain by the controversial Online Safety Act.

During an interview with Bill O'Reilly of Fox News, in February of 2017, Donald Trump even defended Russia's suppression of free speech. When O'Reilly informed him that Russia kills people for peacefully protesting against the Russian government, Trump's response was :
"There are a lot of killers. You think our country's so innocent?" -- Donald Trump
This is classic selective outrage by Donald Trump. It is bizarre but true : Donald Trump treats American adversaries better than he does American allies.
Another Fauci special.Setting the First Amendment aside .... it is being hyper-sensitive of the federal government to be deleting references to "LGBTQ." that have been made by doctors, while discussing health care. That isn't being "woke."
Was it wrong for doctors to say that gay men were in an at-risk population, while commenting on the AIDS hysteria in the late 1980's? This is crazy.
Oh dear. A district judge.The plaintiffs asserted that the government violated the First Amendment, while trying to comply with a federal law called the Administrative Procedure Act. The Administrative Procedure Act requires agencies to create opportunities for the public to comment on proposed rules and regulations before implementing them.
"The plaintiffs are likely to succeed in proving that the removal of their articles was a textbook example of viewpoint discrimination by the defendants in violation of the First Amendment. "
-- U.S. District Judge Leo T. Sorkin
Judge Sorkin continued further ....
"The First Amendment forbids such discrimination in all fora, but the necessity for the rule is perhaps most obvious in a case like this -- where the speech at issue constitutes the scientific, medical views of experts."
-- U.S. District Judge Leo T. Sorkin
You are not arguing with me. You are arguing with a District Judge's interpretation of the First Amendment.
