I've been thinking about this actually...so a lot of things didn't make sense to me about what happened at the Capitol. Trump tells everyone to go there, then he seems to just...vanish without a trace. During the chaos, Nancy's laptop gets stolen.

What was the purpose of having all those people go to the Capitol? Of course the mainstream narrative is that he unleashed a mob of angry people in a seditious act to say fuck you to Congress. Trump definitely used the crowd for some purpose...but for what? With what you are saying...I think it makes sense now.
