This is Illegal

I'd like to define a couple terms...

In Montana (and several other states), Intimidation is a legal term meaning:

45-5-203. Intimidation
(1) A person commits the offense of intimidation when, with the purpose to cause another to perform or to omit the performance of any act, the person communicates to another, under circumstances that reasonably tend to produce a fear that it will be carried out, a threat to perform without lawful authority any of the following acts:
    (a) inflict physical harm on the person threatened or any other person;
    (b) subject any person to physical confinement or restraint; or
    (c) commit any felony.
(2) A person commits the offense of intimidation if the person knowingly communicates a threat or false report of a pending fire, explosion, or disaster that would endanger life or property.
(3) A person convicted of the offense of intimidation shall be imprisoned in the state prison for any term not to exceed 10 years or be fined an amount not to exceed $50,000, or both.

extortion[ik-stawr-shuh n]
noun

1. an act or instance of extorting.
2. Law. the crime of obtaining money or some other thing of value by the abuse of one's office or authority.
3. oppressive or illegal exaction, as of excessive price or interest.

With that in mind, how could anyone read this article and believe that it's not an illegal incitement of violence?

In anyone else, this would be enough to take action.  Enough to be arrested, jailed, and perhaps convicted.

For those who voted (and would still vote) for Trump, did you really wish for a bully, a bigot, a pussy and a coward to be in the White House?
