This is a sting not entrapment. Entrapment is where they force someone to commit a crime against their will then arrest them for it. Enticing or baiting them to commit a crime is how you prevent bad people from committing real crimes.
The Jan 6 insurrectionists and Charlottesville white supremacist mob were acting of their own free will at every step of the way. They were not induced or threatened except by the president. We don't know about any informants among the crowds and even if there were some that doesn't constitute entrapment at all.
