I feel like Donald Trump is not the good example to argue against the power to deplatform. He is an internet troll who calls for violent action to overthrow the elected government. You can't be tolerant of that kind of intolerance, or your democracy will not survive it.
In general though, I feel like deplatforming someone is something you should be able to challenge in front of a judge, just like being refused entry to a public business is something you can challenge in front of a judge. For healthy online debate, you need to have the ability to remove trolls from a platform, but the standard of who is or is not a troll cannot be set by the platform itself.
