When has he EVER spoken directly to his cult of follwers with sincere pleas NOT to threaten or attack his political enemies?

In the same vein during the height of the Covid pandemic during his first administration, did he EVER speak directly to his vaccine denying followers to PLEASE STOP abusing doctors and nurses who were risking their own lives working horrendously stressful multiple shifts trying to save the tragically sick people flooding into overwhelmed hospitals?
