I am no trump fan, but reading the two tweets that got him suspended confuses me. Neither of those two tweets encourages violence in any way. What am i missing? The two listed tweets are:

   “The 75,000,000 great American
   Patriots who voted for me, AMERICA
   FIRST, and MAKE AMERICA GREAT
   AGAIN, will have a GIANT VOICE
   long into the future. They will
   not be disrespected or treated
   unfairly in any way, shape or
   form!!!”
and

   “To all of those who have asked,
   I will not be going to the
   Inauguration on January 20th.”
So where do those encourage violence? First one lists how many people voted for him, and his idea that they support the country more than those who did not. Asinine, but not more inflammatory than most politicians say. The second is an answer to a question many have been asking. Also pretty harmless. Honestly, what am I missing?
