Since you have heard of inciting, you admit that our legal system DOES recognize responsibility for “encouraging” a behavior. I don’t need to pull terms out of my butt, these terms and words are a common part of the English language, spoken and understood by hundreds of millions of people around the world. I will go out on a limb here and say that most of them know what inciting means, but I will make it easy for you. It means encourage or provoke behavior that may be illegal or unethical. A possible case of inciting might be telling someone to punch another person in the mouth, or saying to a group of people that someone needs to be taught a lesson and be carried out on a stretcher.

Sure I do.

I also recognize normal folks use words whose legal definition bears little resemblance to the colloquial understanding. That why I asked you for the legal test.

If Trump's actions don't fit the legal definition, your opinion is no more valid than if you claimed you were "robbed" when what really happened is you agreed to a bad deal.
