When the White House encouraged protests, it encouraged protests.  Trump encouraged gun-nuts to do a deliberately ambiguous something.

That's a dog whistle for assassination; this phenomenon isn't new (he's done it before, albeit for assault not murder) and people tend to answer the call sooner or later.  Either Trump knows what he's doing and incited violence or he doesn't know what he's doing and incited violence.

wat. He deliberately encouraged something ambigous? 

Really, I could turn your entire answer around and make it about the other side using the same logic.

Yes; it is in fact very easy to be ambiguous when encouraging something.  (You didn't think that was impossible, did you?  I mentioned that this tactic isn't new...) That tends to net a full spectrum of results--in this case, assassination being one of them and an obvious one at that.  The White House on the other hand was specific.  If you cannot tell the difference, I regret to inform you that it will be very unlikely to turn my answer around in a logical manner.
