To the USG, that's incitement—look what happened immediately after. There aren't 25K troops in DC as I write this because Trump did not incite a coup/insurrect

There aren't 25K troops in DC as I write this because Trump did not incite a coup/insurrection, they are they because he did. The reaction itself is the proof.
You may not think Trump's rally should have had that effect, but at this point, it's moot: it did.
