The second one can be read as a tacit nod that the inauguration is a “safe” target.

I know many will see that as a stretch, but given the context and recent events, I do not.

By that logic, Trump commenting on any of his attendance plans is "inciting violence".

This goes far beyond a stretch.

If those comments are in the context of his supporters having just stormed the US Capitol at his behest, killing several people and derailing the confirmation of his political enemy, then yes.

All I can do is disagree. I think this sets a horrifying social precedent and I have doubts it will be enforced equally.

That tweet predates the capitol protest.

No it doesn’t, it was tweeted yesterday.

My mistake. He had said he wasn't going to the inauguration previously as well, didn't realize he reiterated.
