Eh no, the morality of the powerful can be anything. Killing the weak could be a part of it, but why should it? After all, the weak are no threat to their power. If it feels good to kill the weak, it would a part of master morality, I suppose. Trump wants to dominate the protesters, but equally the protesters want to dominate Trump, that's the motivation, not the morality. Both are impotent, hence the picture the other as evil.
Here's a a good introduction I think (1 of 3 parts):

Master morality is about believing strength is good and weakness is bad. Trump wants to "dominate" protestors, wants America to be "strong" instead of "weak" in foreign policy and trade etc. He also respects strongmen like Putin and sometimes Fat Kim, and bullies weaklings like Jeb Bush.
