Trump is a lifelong Democrat who speaks like a lifelong Democrat. He is not an ideological leftist, so he is derided as far-right. He is not right wing at all, he is center-left in his policy and platform. Speaking as President, he was in the wrong, and it's as simple as that. His statement violates the 5th and 14th Amendments and are thus outside the enumerated powers of the government. He is, by default, in all public statements, representing the Office of the President of the United States - he does not have First Amendment privileges no matter how degraded our understanding of social governance has become. This is not a novel concept, it is extraordinarily old and applies to members of the government who have taken the oath of office. No matter the 'major red flags' exhibited, the President was speaking of literal 'red flag laws' which are patently illegal on their face.
