Tell me how impressed the people who wrote the Constitution would be impressed by that.

They would probably approve, as you say, that Trump didn't try to do that. Of course, they would strenuously disapprove if he had actually done it.

They certainly would consider your claim (that conservative speech should not be allowed) as a betrayal to the Constitution and nation they had established. They would probably consider you a threat to civil society, and disapprove of how you twist words and actions, lie, in order to attempt to bring about authoritarian, centralized government beyond what is limited in the Constitution.

And they would definitely rail against federal government agencies suppressing political speech of the citizens of this nation.
