It is, in the context of the events from the past few weeks. Some of his supporters had been saying for weeks now that they were "standing by" and ready to do "what had to be done" when Trump would call to them. His speech yesterday was predicably heard as the call.
I don't believe for 1 second that he didn't intended for his words to be interpreted that way.
And for the record, #KillAllWhatever should be banned as well in my book, I'm not defending it.

Thank you. > It is, in the context of the events from the past few weeks If something is "very precise" in context, then it is not precise. If we have to interpret words, then we have multiple interpretations and everybody can have their own truth. You can't say something is "a very precise call to violence" because of some people may interpret it their way. His tweet (https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1346912780700577792 https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/13469127807005777...) is very precise. "I am asking for everyone at the U.S. Capitol to remain peaceful. No violence!"
- arolihas 6y agoSo the tweet that wasn’t taken down is the one that isn’t a call to violence. Good to know.
