Free speech. Trump is old and likely doesn't have too many years left on this earth anyhow.
Like all freedoms, that of speech is necessarily limited in the interests of the public good. Just as free speech doesn’t permit you shout ‘Fire!’ in a crowded theatre, it also doesn’t protect you from the consequences of telling a gaggle of ginned-up waterheads to walk to the Capitol Complex and ‘fight like hell’.
Trump’s age has bugger all to do with it.
