(Trump) used war rhetoric and incited a violent insurrection against the United States

I understand that Trump claims that people who read his speech thought it was appropriate. I'm an expert in rhetoric. It was not appropriate. He used war rhetoric and incited a violent insurrection against the United States.
Trump's war rhetoric used a combo of four things:
1) exterminationism (a plague must be removed to be pure again);
2) ad baculum (threats of force);
3) "we" are good, strong, pure, sure of victory;
4) we are innocent victims.
