Just writing death threat for the president online is a crime.

No other concrete step is needed.

A threat is not the same as planning.
Planning to kill someone is not a crime. Threatening to is, even if they aren't the President.
Unless it is with other people and, more critically, at least one of the people involved goes beyond planning and takes some concrete step to advance the execution of the plan (at which point it becomes the separate crime of conspiracy), no, planning a crime, even of that seriousness, is not itself a crime.
