If TP/RW/GOP = terrorism --

How should the President react based on his obligations as President/CinC/chief executive of the Constitution?

Or is it just hyperbole for the PR battle?

you are deliberately giving an unserious answer.

But does that mean those claiming "TP/RW/GOP= terrorism" are giving an unserious complaint? I only ask this because they seem very serious.

A metaphoric case can be made that the Republicans are engaging in terrorism. The whole thing boils down to how seriously you want to take the metaphor. This is probably a useless line of inquiry. What the Republicans are doing is very harmful, even consciously evil. Let's debate it at that level. Using the word "terrorism" invites a sidetracking of the debate.
