The position that Trump called for anything to be peaceful on January 6th is a canard. He used that word once, very early in a long, angry speech that riled up the crowd by calling for them to FIGHT! (After they were already told to have "trial by combat!").
Context:
Just before using the word "peaceful," he told them the plan:
"And Mike Pence is going to have to come through for us, and if he doesn't, that will be a, a sad day for our country because you're sworn to uphold our Constitution."
Then he told them what he expected of them:
"Because you'll never take back our country with weakness. You have to show strength and you have to be strong. We have come to demand that Congress do the right thing and only count the electors who have been lawfully slated, lawfully slated."
Then he told them to peacefully and patriotically make their voices heard.
Then he went on a LONG, angry rant (well over twenty minutes), explaining how they were wronged, how the country was being stolen from them, how they had to fight to get it back, and toward the close he implored them, "And we fight. We fight like hell. And if you don't fight like hell, you're not going to have a country anymore."
So, at the point that they were dispatched, feeling angry, wronged, emboldened, and prepared to fight like hell, the word "peaceful" had been used once, over twenty minutes prior.
His call was for anything but a peaceful protest.
