Trump has threatened to pull the licenses of news stations who don't report nice things about him. He's sued news outlets for billions (all dismissed). He's restricted access to the white house press pool. This is your idea of "restoring" freedom of speech? Tell me, what you say, if a democrat president was doing all those things? Would you say, he was "restoring" freedom of speech?
If you go around being a racist asshole in public, today, outside of your job and you get outed in a viral video, you'll likely be fired once it gets out who you work for. Nothing has changed. Trump isn't going to "pardon" you. Nor did Obama have a thing to do with this when it happened under his watch. The first amendment doesn't protect you from being fired from your job. It just protects you from being persecuted by the government.
