Why would it matter if it was a private display? People are allowed to have and express their opinions, even if they’re shitty opinions.

because a public and threatening display is a threat.

A threat against POTUS, VPOTUS and several other elected government leaders is a crime. a very serious crime.

I think it's materially different from a threat. When we talk about killing pedos is that a threat? What we say is much worse.

And, yeah, some of the best protected people in the world. The ornaments won't hurt them unless someone puts them in a blunderbuss and sneaks into the whitehouse.
