How is this supposed to be an example or proof that Trump thinks the POTUS has no limits?

His tweet certainly illustrates the point that he believes anything critical of him should be illegal and f... the first amendment.
As you have said before you can’t take him literally....

I reread his tweet again, and I didn't see anything in it that illustrates him believing anything critical of him should be illegal or against the First Amendment. You seem to be trying very hard to stretch what he said into something he didn't say. Maybe you shouldn't be taken literaly?

I disagree, his tone and tenor continually illustrates his wish that all his detractors could and should be silenced.
Should I fear getting something wrong in a political argument on the internet?
Will alliances fail, people go bankrupt and lives be disrupted or end due to my badly informed statement?
Luckily I'm not president, my speech would be much more carefully considered if it had an impact beyond this small pond.
