he could have asked/demanded it. if they were attacking the white house, do you think trump would have been sitting on his ass watching television?

you are reaching for any straw you think you have to defend him. mostly bullshit, but when I point such things out here, people pout, whine, and claim victimhood.

oh, and the facts of the matter:

Who has the power to call the National Guard?
This authority to activate the D.C. National Guard has been delegated, by the President, to the Secretary of Defense and further delegated to the Secretary of the Army. The D.C. National Guard is the only National Guard unit, out of all of the 54 states and territories, which reports only to the President.

so your excuses are wrong, but it is moot since he didn't do anything anyway until it was clear the coup attempt had failed.
