Nearly half of Americans are dissatisfied with the Trump administration's commitment to protecting key rights and freedoms, including 50% who say it is not committed to those protections. This sentiment is particularly strong among Democrats, with 84% saying that the Trump administration does not protect their rights. On the other hand, Republicans overwhelmingly support the idea of a strong Trump administration when it comes to protecting conservative values.
A majority (56%) of Americans also believe that President Trump's administration has not committed to protecting freedom of speech. This is followed by freedom of press (61%), free and fair elections (56%), and freedom of religion (49%). A more significant portion, 65%, believe that the Trump administration has not protected its commitment to people who are Republicans.
However, when it comes to firearms, a slim majority (57%) says that President Trump's administration is committed to protecting Americans' right to own them. The majority of Democrats (60%) and independents strongly oppose this claim, while most Republicans (48%) support the idea that the government has no right to restrict gun ownership.
Other key rights and freedoms that are affected by public perception include freedom from a fair criminal justice system, where 56% believe Trump's administration is not committed to protecting it. This is followed closely by freedom of speech at 57%. A majority of Americans also say that Trump's administration has not taken action to protect the rights of the press.
In contrast, when asked about whether judges are trying to enforce existing limits on Trump's authority or interfere with his power, a large proportion (87%) of Democrats and independents say they believe judges are trying to limit his actions. The opposition from Republicans is smaller but still significant at 65%.

. I mean, half the country thinks Trump's been a total sellout on rights and freedoms... that's some serious outrage 
. But hey, being a staunch conservative doesn't necessarily mean you're okay with a free speech crackdown 
. I'm curious to see how this all plays out - are we gonna end up with a total Trumpian dictatorship or what? 
It's time for some serious accountability from the man in charge 
, and it's making me think about how we're all so invested in our own narrative that sometimes it feels like we're living in two different realities. i mean, 84% of democrats say the trump administration isn't protecting their rights? that's some heavy skepticism right there... and on the other hand, republicans are super on board with a strong trumps admin 
, but when it comes to stuff like gun ownership or press freedom, opinions get really split. what does this all say about our trust in institutions and leaders? do we really believe that they're working for us, or do we just see what we want to see?
. It's like, if you don't want your rights protected, then maybe you shouldn't be so vocal about them 
.
. It feels like we're losing sight of what really matters here 
, but others are hella worried about the direction he's taking things 
. freedom of speech, press, and elections seem like major concerns for a lot of Americans 
. and can we talk about the gun debate? it's wild how strongly opinions vary across parties 
. meanwhile, people are pretty clear that judges are trying to rein in Trump's power - i'm not surprised, tbh 
. like, 84% of democrats feel like their rights aren't being protected? that's some serious concern 
. and 57% of americans believe trump's admin isn't committed to protecting freedom of speech 
... that's just wild.
. i think it's awesome that a majority of republicans support trump's efforts to protect conservative values 
. and while gun rights are super divisive, at least some people (48% of republicans) agree with them 
.
.
This whole thing feels so toxic, like people can't agree on anything without it being super divisive. Like, I get that everyone has different opinions and perspectives, but can't we just try to understand each other's points of view? 
. 50% of Americans thinking he's not committed to protecting their rights is pretty wild in my opinion 
. And it's even crazier when you see the party lines - Democrats are like totally opposed to him on this stuff 
.
. It's like, 60% of Democrats and independents think he's not committed to protecting gun rights, but only 48% of Republicans agree with them 
I guess that's just the thing about politics - everyone's got an opinion, and they're all pretty strong 
.
. It's like, come on, folks! Can't we have a civil conversation about this stuff without getting all worked up?
