41. He is inciting violence.

Brandenburg v.Ohio

This ruling reversed an Ohio law that limited free speech because the law did not meet the clear and present danger requirement.

The majority opinion:
"Since the statute, by its words and as applied, purports to punish mere advocacy and to forbid, on pain of criminal punishment, assembly with others merely to advocate the described type of action, it falls within the condemnation of the First and Fourteenth Amendments. Freedoms of speech and press do not permit a State to forbid advocacy of the use of force or of law violation except where such advocacy is directed to inciting or producing imminent lawless action and is likely to incite or produce such action."

Right there. Black and white. Unequivocal. Trump's words are not protected by the Constitution.

Someone needs to file a lawsuit. Are you listening, ACLU?
