Freedom of speech doesn't entitle you to say whatever you desire without repercussion.
And in-fact has a ton of actual restrictions.

I feel it is a term people throw around far to casually to try and undermine someone else's position.

With that... The President is certainly open to criticism. He is a clown, but an elected clown nonetheless.

So how is what you just said their any different to what LeBron James did? 

An election entitles to a term in a seat of power, not to be immune to criticism. Respect has to be earned and, maybe you'll disagree, but being elected earns recognition (as the president) but not respect. For instance p, I recognise Theresa May and my PM, but I do not respect her -mainly as I feel she is blundering her way through Brexit, having sidestepped the referendum in an attempt to get the top job.

Others who have been 'elected' include Nicolas Maduro and Robert Mugabe. Should they be immune from criticism?

This is basically Trump's classic go to move, he did the same thing when all the companies on his business council were about to resign because of his Charlottesville comments

"Nuh uh! I've disbanded and fired the business council, so you can't quit!".

Keep taking those Ls Donny.

That's just plain wrong. As soon as it interferes with other people's rights you can't say what you want. Therefore it has lots of restrictions.

It is better to "fire" someone than look like an idiot that no one wants to visit.

And it would have a lot more restrictions if Trump could get those damn libel laws "reformed".

If you really can't be bothered to find out, just imagine it as an insult to your intelligence, and react accordingly.

It's not worth the time to find out. And insults from someone who "writes" like that don't require any reaction

He is talking trump twitter talk.  Just react like Trump tried to say something important but no one gives a fuck.

Another quality post, Chris Hu. No generalisation at all.

Its better then any of your pointless threads and I'm pretty sure that most people here would agree with me that Mark Dice is talentless hack.

Listen, I reacted to kapi by using text shorthand (which is loaded with abbreviations such as: smh - "shaking my head", tbh - "to be honest", and so on and so forth)

I did not attempt to emulate Trump's tweeting habits (which, in any case, are different from what I did ). So, please don't use Trump's name to smear me through guilt by association. (The latter statement really should be the other way around, but I do suppose that is a byproduct to the perception of Trump by the average VGChartz user.)

In hindsight, I forgot to include a smiley to indicate sarcasm. :P

"LOL" means "laughing out loud," and "ikr" means "I know, right" by the way.

Edit: I would like to thank sethnintendo for catching an error I made earlier in this post.

True but he still comes across as smug asshole and elitist a lot of the time.  But people that are highly offended by some of the things he says need to realize that he is a comedian.
