Well, Trump isn't favorable to freedom of expression either.
He wants flag burning to be punished. But, in the US, flag desecration is recognized as part of the constitutional right to freedom of expression.
In my own country (Italy) flag desecration is, indeed, illegal. That is a defect in our laws, an unacceptable restriction to freedom of expression which shouldn't exist in any free country. Italy (and many other country) should imitate the US in this, not the other way around, and those who advocate for censorship shouldn't be regarded as if they were upholding free speech.
