It's only applicable if someone did yell "Fire!" in a crowded theater (and there wasn't a fire).

The worst Trump did here was say that people should march on Capitol Hill and "cheer on" congresspeople.

I guess people are assuming this was coded language to incite violence, but I'm not buying it

In the world we live in, with the Trump followers that we actually have, significant numbers of them took it as a call to violence. And that was predictable. Trump knew or should have known.
