You can't solicit a crime of violence.
"Whoever, with intent that another person engage in conduct constituting a felony that has as an element the use, attempted use, or threatened use of physical force against property or against the person of another in violation of the laws of the United States, and under circumstances strongly corroborative of that intent, solicits, commands, induces, or otherwise endeavors to persuade such other person to engage in such conduct, shall be imprisoned."
18 U.S. Code § 373 - Solicitation to commit a crime of violence
Trump needs to be prosecuted. You can not solicit violence and shooting at a person. It's like trying to hire a hit man.

This sounds like a candidate that knows he's losing and wants to cause as much harm and chaos as possible.

I think there is sufficient evidence to charge Trump with terroristic threats. That is a crime, isn't it?

I think he's faking -- I think he still has enough brains (and ego) to know the difference

I'm pretty sure he just committed a felony offense routinely resulting in an immediate arrest
