He didn't.

The simplest, quickest, and most effective thing he could've done is to tell them all to stop immediately. But, he let it go on because he felt righteous anger at having the election stolen from him, even though several court cases and a couple of years later, there has been zero evidence that the election was stolen from him.

He cares more about his ego than our country. That has always been obvious to me even before he ran for POTUS in 2016.

He organized the insurrection. He asked them to come, and if Pence had left the Capitol, they would have been successful.

Let's not sugarcoat, this was a coup attempt.

“The driver of the SUV testified that he 'did not see him reach [redacted]. [President Trump] never grabbed the steering wheel. I didn’t see him, you know, lunge to try to get into the front seat at all.”

Apparently, Liz Cheney knew what the driver said as she was part of the interview.

“The House Democrat-led Jan. 6 committee withheld crucial evidence from the public, including witness interviews that conflicted with the testimony of star witness Cassidy Hutchinson and her claim then-President Donald Trump tried to commandeer his presidential SUV and take it to the U.S. Capitol that day, House Republicans declared in an explosive new report Monday.

The House Administration Subcommittee on Oversight, chaired by Rep. Barry Loudermilk, R-Ga., released its first findings from its year-long probe into Capitol security failures on Jan. 6, 2021, and the initial Democrat effort to investigate the incident.”

Colorado court said there was no evidence of this in their ruling that Trump was an insurrectionist.

“Trump has frequently insisted he called for 10,000 troops (sometimes it’s inflated as 20,000) to keep the peace on Jan. 6, 2021…Christopher Miller, then the acting secretary of defense, testified under oath to the Jan. 6 committee that there was no such order for troops from Trump, according to the report.

But two days before the violence erupted, Trump insisted that he should accompany protesters on a march to the Capitol aimed at blocking certification of Democrat Joe Biden’s presidential win, according to testimony from Max Miller, who was a White House senior adviser at the time.

That’s when Trump ‘floated the idea of having 10,000 National Guardsmen deployed to protect him and his supporters from any supposed threat from left-wing counterprotesters,’ recounted Miller, who said he told Trump it was a bad idea.”

Trump suggested using National Guardsmen to protect him and his supporters while they marched to the Capitol, but was no official order through proper channels.
