I'm waiting on confirmation (this statement has not yet appeared on Trump's website, but it's on chan boards and thedonald), but if genuine, Trump has just called Biden "an illegitimate President" in an official statement, which seems significant.

If I were to get into a time machine and go back to 1966 and shout, in the middle of an anti-war demonstration, "Burn your draft cards!" should I be arrested for my words? If I were to be convicted, would that be an appropriate outcome? Would the Supreme Court rule the same way today?
I would not be burning a draft card, but shouting "Words that {BLATANTLY} further an open criminal conspiracy." Should those words deserve protection? Not the act, but the words that encourage that criminal act.
Show your work.

From 1941 through 1973, with a short interruption in the late 1940s, young men at age 18 were required by law to register with their local draft boards. Each was classified according to his fitness for service and issued a draft card noting his name, age, and draft status. After Congress adopted the Draft Card Mutilation Act of 1965 to promote the efficient operation of the Selective Service System and preempt venues of resistance, it became a criminal offense knowingly to destroy or mutilate one’s draft card. The Supreme Court struck down a First Amendment challenge to the law. This is a June 20, 1969 photo of Ken Love burning what he claimed was a draft card and his Students for a Democratic Society card in Chicago.

Draft card destruction viewed as symbolic protest against Vietnam War
Possession of the card proved that the card bearer was compliant with the Selective Service System and had not tried to evade classification for military service.
Draft operations ran relatively smoothly before and during World War II and again during the Korean War and the 1950s. By the mid-1960s, as the United States drafted more troops for the Vietnam War and opposition to the war heightened, some men viewed the public destruction of their draft cards as an effective form of symbolic protest against both the war and the draft system that supported it.
Draft-card burning became one of the most iconic forms of protest during the war. It was a gesture made by young men who wished to buck the system but were not comfortable with more extreme measures such as going to Canada, participating in riots, or destroying induction centers. The symbolic act had legal implications, however.
Burning draft cards was a criminal offense
Burning draft cards was ipso facto illegal because all eligible men were legally required to carry their draft cards with them at all times.
Furthermore, after Congress adopted the Draft Card Mutilation Act of 1965 to promote the efficient operation of the Selective Service System and preempt venues of resistance, it became a criminal offense knowingly to destroy or mutilate one’s draft card.

United States v. O'Brien
Full disclosure: I did not burn my draft card. Nor did I encourage anyone to burn his draft card.
To me, the word "official" is of no real importance. We are not the intended audience for this, but he does have an audience.
I expect him to tell people to take the gov't back in the lead up to September 18th.
I'll try and make sure that Trump is included on any post like this so you can avoid it in the future.
