Trump's supporters have echoed his criticism, arguing that the gag order request is an infringement on his First Amendment rights. They also argue that Smith is biased against Trump and that the request is politically motivated.
There are a number of reasons why Trump's supporters might support him in this case. First, they believe that Trump has been unfairly targeted by the Justice Department. They argue that the investigation into Trump's role in the 2020 election is politically motivated and that Trump is being treated unfairly.
Second, Trump's supporters believe that he has the right to speak freely about the 2020 election. They argue that the gag order request is an attempt to silence Trump and prevent him from sharing his views with the public.
Third, Trump's supporters believe that Smith is biased against Trump. They point to the fact that Smith was appointed by Attorney General Merrick Garland, who they believe is also biased against Trump.
It is important to note that there are also many people who disagree with Trump's supporters on this issue. They argue that the gag order request is necessary to protect the integrity of the investigation and to prevent Trump from interfering with the case. They also argue that Trump's First Amendment rights are not being violated.
Ultimately, it is up to the judge to decide whether or not to grant Smith's request for a gag order. It is a complex issue with no easy answers.
