To criticize a president (any president) or anyone in public office is in no way contrary to free speech or democracy. Inhibiting such criticism is. So criticism by itself is no problem.
That criticism ought to be careful with the truth, and it ought to be founded in some sincere disagreement with a policy or statement or act or philosophy rather than in some intellectually vacuous "He's a republican/democrat so let's murder the enemy."
But the criticisms of this administration that you see here (most of them) are a reflection of criticisms which are voiced in even greater frequency outside of the US. Partisanship does not explain them.
Nor does a claim that 'They are just anti-American', as many americans also make the same criticisms.
