Hate speech as used by Trump is illegal. When free speech crosses the line into hate resulting in death and/or rioting and insurrection it is criminal in its content.
Americans are arrested for bullying speech and speech that causes death, regardless of how that death occurred.
Free speech is not absolute, robust or otherwise. There is speech so offense and compelling it is illegal in some cities, such as the “N” word. There will never be an absolute freedom of speech within any civilized society.
