One of the cardinal principles enshrined in the very first amendment to the Constitution of the United States, the very first element of the Bill of Rights, is that of freedom of speech.

 

Mr. Donald Trump, however, is less than fully on board with such restrictive nonsense:

 

“First Amendment Attorney: Trump ‘Simply Doesn’t Know What He’s Talking About’ When it Comes to Libel Law”

 

“Trump vs. the First Amendment”

 

If you think there’s too much free speech in the United States, you’re right to support Mr. Donald Trump for our national Leader.  If you rather like the First Amendment, though, you should think long and hard before you cast your vote for him.
