Definitely Guilty!
"True Threats" as defined by law should be and are illegal. But you hit the nail on the head with your question. Yes, statements about the president should be given special consideration. Virtually all of them are crude, offensive political statements (protected by the 1st Amendment) rather than "true threats" (not protected). This guy's statements fall in the crude, offensive political statement category.
And who gets to define what a ‘true threat’ is?
Slippery....
I know. And courts can decide to manipulate that definition. (facepalm)
