And just for the record, literally everything I've been able to find about what was happening in the White House that day suggests that Trump was delighted about the riot. And that word comes from Republican Senator Ben Sasse, describing what he heard White House staffers saying about what Trump was doing:
Why did he end up recording that message telling the rioters to go home peacefully? Remember being a kid and being forced to apologise for something and giving the most threadbare apology for whatever you did? Or were you on the other end of the apology? That's pretty much the only reason Trump made the video telling the rioters to leave peacefully. And it took several hours to convince him to do it. And it turned out that he was the shitty kind of kid who tries to weasel out of the apology by insisting he was in the right, since he apparently made three takes of that video and even in the most usable take, he still called the rioters "very special" and continued to push the bullshit conspiracy that he was cheated out of the election which spurred them on in the first place. And did the same thing on Twitter two hours later.
So, he's basically this, but without the grandma attempting to smooth things over (and, thankfully, this clip from the Boondocks doesn't feature the N-word):
