> I wouldn't trust the Trump administration with coming up with a list of human rights, that doesn't mean that the only acceptable compromise is that we shouldn't have any.

The point remains the same. If you don't trust Trump (or the simple majority of voters in a given election) with the power to set rights, then you shouldn't give them such power. Rights are supposed to be restrictions on the govt. If the president can define hate speech then there is no right being protected from the govt.
