I don't think Trump is responsible for this one
He's just a symptom of the larger problem. But as the highest profile symptom, the lack of meaningful consequences so far does little to discourage others from following his example.
Trump publicly praised and encouraged terrorism directed at his political opponent(s)
He may not have created the problem, but he has done a lot to exacerbate it.
