Examples of this are the cartoons making fun of Allah or Mohamed,

Trump is purposely defying those standards (double standards, really) on a daily basis with the aim of destroying them along with their inherent duplicity, and I think that’s a good thing.

While I applaud the service you have rendered in distinguishing among types of speech, I cannot say that Donald Trump utters a single word out of principle but only motivated by his narcissism.

Consider the category of, "making fun of Allah." We must ask ourselves, how did Trump behave when someone actually made fun of Allah? He accused the victim, Pamela Geller, he did not stand on principle for free speech rather he raised his voice against it.

There is nothing in Donald Trump's biography that suggests that he ever did anything on principle which did not benefit Donald Trump. There is no utterance that I can think of in which Donald Trump stood for principle where it did not advantage Donald Trump. In fact, when it counted, Trump attacked the victim and stood against free speech.

The double standard I see has always been applied by Trump supporters who will tolerate anything from Donald Trump and nothing from other candidate.

Maybe the best example of their supporter's hypocrisy here, is their level of "aghast" that rumors could be instigated that Trump was behind the concocted smears to Cruz via the Stone and / or Pecker connection.

....While many of the same Trump supporting group were dancing in the streets of Freeperville this weekend celebrating and perpetuating the smears against Cruz with this still unproven scandal.

Pretty strange if you ask me.
