Lol, I'm afraid not, kid.Doesn't matter. The sources i used pretty much rendered your attempted point moot / failed.Notice that the person I was responding to did.Notice I primarily did not mention President Trump as I talked about the National Guard but instead focused more on other news sources and people whowere there / involved?!Fact checking that:Former Secretary of Defense Mark Meadows testified President Trump ordered 10,000 National Guard members be told to be ready to be activated and respond if needed. Meadows added the president had offered national Guard to be activated and provided security in DC prior to 6 Jan but that the offer had been rejected.Gonna hafta see some proof of that.President Trump recommending the National Guard be activated and present
Trump Offered 10,000 National Guard Troops To Protect Capitol Multiple Times Before Jan 6 and His Offer was Rebuked Every Time
You've already heard all the lies about January 6 and what led up to a riot that broke out atdjhjmedia.com
The NY Times reported the DC national Guard were activated immediately AFTER the 6 Jan violence and that all 1,100 had arrived and helped set up a perimeter around the Capitol by 6pm that night.
- This proves the National Guard had been told to be ready to be activated in advance. The violence officially began at 12:53pm - it is virtually impossible to recall 1,100 National Guard Members, have them report, assemble, travel to a DC force deployment/dispersion point, and assist in creating a perimeter in 5 hours unless they have been told in advance to be ready.

(The NYT added, "President Trump initially rebuffed and resisted requests to mobilize the National Guard, according to a person with knowledge of the events." Of course we all know how valid the left wing media's 'anonymous' sources are, as they were exposed in a vast majority of the time to be the reporters themselves, which made it easier for the NYT to continue to post false stories about the exposed bogus, debunked 'Trump-Russia collusion.)
President Trump actually suggested to numerous cities across the country to use national Guard troops to reinstate control. law, and order as Antifa and BLM looted, burned, held city blocks hostage, etc....but his suggestion was rebuffed / rejected over and over again.
THEN THERE IS THIS:
"The former chief of U.S. Capitol Police says security officials at the House and Senate rebuffed his early requests to call in the National Guard ahead of a demonstration in support of President Trump that turned into a deadly attack on Congress.
Former chief Steven Sund -- who resigned his post last week after House Speaker Nancy Pelosi called for him to step down -- made the assertions in an interview with The Washington Post published Sunday.
Sund contradicts claims made by officials after Wednesday's assault on Capitol Hill. Sund's superiors said previously that the National Guard and other additional security support could have been provided, but no one at the Capitol requested it."
ACCORDING TO NPR Steven Sund, former Chief of the USCP, stated he DID request activation of the National Guard but that his request was REJECTED by 'security officials' at the House and Senate.
Ex-Capitol Police Chief Says Requests For National Guard Denied 6 Times In Riots
Steven Sund contradicts reports that help was not requested, saying security officials at the House and Senate rebuffed calls for assistance ahead of and during the attack on the Capitol.www.npr.org
Sund, who was asked to step down by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi for the USCP's failure to protect the capitol, stated it was House Sergeant-at-Arms Paul Irving who rejected the idea of activating the national Guard because he was more concerned about the OPTICS rather than preparing / preventing / protecting:
"Sund told the Post that House Sergeant-at-Arms Paul Irving was concerned with the "optics" of declaring an emergency ahead of the protests and rejected a National Guard presence."
Irving, who had been House Sgt-of-Arms since 2012, resigned after the 6 Jan Capitol violence.
INTERESTINGLY ENOUGH, SPEAKER PELOSI DID NOT INITIALLY CALL THE EVENTS OF 6 JAN AN ATTEMPTED 'INSURRECTION'. SHE DESCRIBED IS AS "COMMITTING ACTS OF VANDALISM AND DELAYING THE CERTIICATION PROCESS":
"Sergeant at Arms of the U.S. House of Representatives Paul Irving will resign over the massive security breach of the United States Capitol, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi announced Thursday.
The California Democrat called for Capitol Police Chief Steven Sund to resign after rioters supporting President Donald Trump stormed the United States Capitol building Wednesday, committing acts of vandalism and delaying the certification process as members of Congress were forced to evacuate the House and Senate chambers."
