Well Trump doesn't just want to limit free speech. He wants to ban it:
President Trump has long derided the mainstream media as the “enemy of the people” and lashed out at NFL players for kneeling during the national anthem. On Tuesday, he took his attacks on free speech one step further, suggesting in an interview with a conservative news site that the act of protesting should be illegal.
Trump made the remarks in an Oval Office interview with the Daily Caller hours after his Supreme Court nominee, Brett M. Kavanaugh, was greeted by protests on the first day of his confirmation hearings on Capitol Hill.
“I don’t know why they don’t take care of a situation like that,” Trump said. “I think it’s embarrassing for the country to allow protesters. You don’t even know what side the protesters are on.”

Check all that, chum.
All taken out of context.
Protesting the outcome of a free election or protesting an appointment by the executive within his or her purview, verified by the Senate, just seems whiney. If you do not like the results of a vote, go back to work and find the votes to set things "a'right" as we southerners sometimes say and use the ways of law.
Mobbing those who have been elected just makes more votes for the side you are protesting.
He was also talking about those protests that became mobs and broke into businesses, flipped cars at random and generally committed serious crimes in the name of peace.
The right to peaceably assemble is predicated upon a "peaceful" assembly.
Scream all you want, wave any sign you want, yell and cuss all you want, say anything you want, but spitting at a police officer is an assault. DO not do that unless you want your peaceable assemble to be further assessed as not so peaceful.
Some of these violent protests SHOULD be shut down by local police. Once the line is crossed into criminal behavior, then the rights to peaceably assemble and protest are forfeit.
Kind of defines what banning these things is about.
If you only read WP, then you are not in the know.
I am basically an uneducated, high functioning moron with early signs of vascular dementia showing up and probably missed a bath or two. If you want to get more into this, I can do some research, but I am posting from memory.
