Just a reminder of what Chris Miller, the acting Secretary of Defense, said on Jan. 6th 2020:

Statement by Acting Secretary Miller on Full Activation of D.C. National Guard

Chairman Milley and I just spoke separately with the Vice President and with Speaker Pelosi, Leader McConnell, Senator Schumer and Representative Hoyer about the situation at the U.S. Capitol. We have fully activated the D.C. National Guard to assist federal and local law enforcement as they work to peacefully address the situation. We are prepared to provide additional support as necessary and appropriate as requested by local authorities. Our people are sworn to defend the constitution and our democratic form of government and they will act accordingly.

From the above announcement it is obvious that Trump was completely out of the loop in the decision to activate the D.C. National Guard to clear the Capitol of rioters. So what the hell was he doing?
