Does painting all of your opposition's supporters as racist/sexist/xenophobic/ignorant/violent count as inciting violence? Or is protesters attacking Trump supporters across the country Trump's fault too?

Absolutely not.
Unless you somehow equate the phrase "criticizing behavior" with "inciting violence".
At the worst, that sentence uses the word "all" where the phrase "non-trivial subset" would be more appropriate.

No.
