What can Trump do? Get mad? That will drive the politician who does this to prominence! Surely someone wants to get their name out on the national stage? And while it costs money to start, I'm sure that lots will want to donate if they see Trump getting unhappy with it!
And it's a strategy that can be repeated over and over again until Trump learns to stop trying to use threats to censor free speech. Which hopefully takes a while.
https://www.natesilver.net/p/trump-approval-ratings-nate-sil... shows me that, while a lot of people strongly disapprove of Trump, he retains a very strong base of over 40% of likely voters. And his overall approval rating is pretty typical for a US President at this point in their term.

He won last election on a fragile coalition which doesn’t exist anymore today. So, if elections are held today, he’d not only lose but will also get buried deep down.
