Of course the line isn't the same for everyone. Some people (such as presidents) are a lot more influential and consequential than others. Nobody cares what Joe Random thinks about something and if he crosses a line nobody cares if he's silenced.

Trump isn't the only one who had a different line, though his was probably looser than anyone else got. Any celebrity or public figure is going to have more leeway in what he or she is allowed to say.
