Nope, can't do that. Strawman argument.

Scribe said very clearly that he's arguing on the basis of Trump's stance on TikTok, not the Republicans. And of course he has to: your question asks about why Trump would be better for the country.

Donald Trump himself has been very clear that he does not (at this point) intend to ban TikTok: https://nypost.com/2024/06/07/us-news/trump-vows-he-will-never-ban-tiktok-in-strongest-statement-yet-on-social-media-giant/

(Most of your other points are fair--the anti-press stuff is particularly telling because it goes directly to the heart of the contention that Trump himself would be better for free speech.)
