I'm baffled. Half the posts I see about the National Guard are bemoaning how pathetic and cowardly it is that Biden and the democrats are so insecure that they've turned D.C. into a fortress for a virtual inauguration. The other half reiterates how obvious it is that the trap has been set, and the fences are for the inevitable containment and arrests. So, which is it? If Trump is the only person who could have ordered this operation, or command it, and D.C. is at least in part under martial law now, then why are so many people pretending that Biden, Pelosi, or the democrats in general are somehow responsible for this? Pentagon authorized some requests from local D.C. officials, yes, but Trump is the ultimate authority here, as far as I understand. — What am I missing?

I have been thinking that Trump may have done this to make Biden look bad and potentially to even scare him.
It could be for a number of reasons, but to other countries and even citizens, it looks like Biden is knowingly accepting a fraud election and wants to be protected on his way in.
There were two instances of Pelosi and Pence speaking to some of the guard, so who knows who actually ordered them there, but if it was Trump, there's only a few possibilities.
He either plans on transitioning to Biden and wants to keep the peace, he is trying to make Biden look bad via political optics, or Trump is going to be the one who walks out on the inaguration stage and the lefties are going to crack.
