Although that particular article doesn't say anything, I'm very wary about Trump and free speech. I consider myself a free speech absolutist and would riot if it were under serious threat.
Our first amendment has been under assault for a very long time... and it's been violated many times (hate speech, for instance).
Rioting isn't what should be done about it, though... what should be done is to run for office or to vote someone into office who believes as you do regarding the first amendment, and to use your second amendment to defend the first amendment only at the time when change is no longer possible within the system or you are forced by an aggressive government to act to defend yourself and your fellow Americans.
If you're gonna riot... at least do it properly. Don't smash up some car dealership: smash up government stuff.

Mind proving this, sir?
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
