Trump tweeted and posted on Facebook at 2:38 and 2:40pm respectively:
"Please support our Capitol Police and Law Enforcement. They are truly on the side of our Country. Stay peaceful!"
Trump's speech didn't even end until 1:13pm.
The "he did nothing for 3 hours" crap is a bold faced lie.
The only acceptable response by a POTUS with the Capitol under attack, would be to immediately demand for them to leave, or face arrest and prosecution. The tweet and post you cited didn’t even ask for them to leave.
The timeline of the Capitol riot has played a significant role in prosecutors' attempts to prove several defendants conspired to stop Joe Biden's victory from being certified.
He didn't tell them to actually go home until 4:17.
At 2:24 he posted that Pence didn't have the courage to do what he needed to save our country. (He told this to an angry crowd chanting Hang Mike Pence and whom were searching for him - now come on you KNOW that is a sick cruel thing to do.)
14 minutes after that 2:24 post he posts to support the capital police. That was for the sake of plausible deniability. It was a bit late and a very weak response.

Democrats claimed the 2016 election was stolen by the Russians and pushed the Russian collusion hoax for all 4 years of Trump's presidency. To this day idiots like Hillary Clinton say Trump was an illegitimate president.
Democrats rioted every day for half of 2020 and did BILLIONS in damage and killed dozens of people and none of you idiots gave a damn.
You attacked the White House injuring dozens of cops and secret service agents causing the president to be evacuated and the media narrative was "haha look he ran away".
How do you know that? Cheney had a sterling reputation before she dared to cross Trump, and before that, she was a very conservative republican.
She's a war mongering neo-con who hated Trump for turning off the gravy train of forever war.
I highly recommend you to follow A-Dolt down his BS right wing conspiratorial rabbit holes as he is defending Trump. You only get dirty and the pig enjoys it.

Pointing out your shameless hypocrisy isn't defending Trump it's pointing out your shameless hypocrisy.

Come on. Over in the college football thread you came across as a reasonable person, but in the political threads you’re pure belligerence. Why?
He thinks this guy should be POTUS - everything both say should be taken with a grain of salt as they are both mentally ill.
Because of Joe Biden. I spend a lot of time in courts. Federal. State, city. And tomorrow, I’ll be attending another Biden inspired federal appeals court argument on presidential immunity in Washington, D.C.. Of course, I was entitled as president of the United States and commander in chief to immunity. I’m entitled to immunity. Every president has immunity, especially one that did the job I did. I did a great job, and I wasn’t working for myself. I was working for the country, I wasn’t campaigning. The election was long over. I wasn’t campaigning. I was looking for voter fraud, something that I have to do under my mandate. I have to look for voter fraud. And I was finding it, tremendous amounts of voter fraud in the 2020 election. We have volumes of information. That’s all there. And I was doing my job, which I had to do. And it’s my obligation to do an otherwise. Running our country and running it well, we didn’t have Russia going into Ukraine. We didn’t have Israel under attack. We didn’t have China talking every day about going into Taiwan. We didn’t have inflation. We had a great economy. If I don’t get immunity, then Crooked Joe Biden doesn’t get immunity. And. All of the things he’s done to allow the border invasion. Millions and millions of people coming into our country, many from prisons, jails. Mental institutions, insane asylums, many terrorists coming into our country. That’s really allowing insurrection. And come into a situation where he allowed the surrender to Afghanistan. We surrendered. The United States of America surrendered to Afghanistan, where we gave them $85 billion worth of free. The best military equipment anywhere in the world left thousands of hostages behind. And they were American hostages behind. Still there, many of them. And13 dead soldiers and many soldiers so badly hurt. This is gross incompetence. We did a surrender in Afghanistan. Nothing’s ever been so embarrassing in the history of our country. Also, the millions and millions of dollars that went into Joe Biden’s pockets with money from foreign countries like Russia, Afghanistan, China, many others. I mean, Joe would be ripe for indictment. So you’re saying that Trump shouldn’t get immunity, but Joe Biden would? I didn’t do anything like he did. I ran a great country. This guy’s gotten $3.5 million from the mayor of Moscow’s wife. What’s that all about? And that’s the least of it. One of the reasons he’s so soft on China is because he received a lot of money from China, and he’s afraid to do anything about it or say anything because he knows he’s afraid to say, we have a manchurian candidate in Joe Biden. We have to get him out. By weaponizing the DOJ against his political opponent. Me, Joe Biden has opened a giant Pandora’s box. As president. I was protecting our country and doing a great job of doing so. And the historians will be saying that they already are. But just look around at the complete mess that Crooked Joe Biden has caused. He’s the worst president in the history of our country by far. He’s also the most corruptpresident. The least I’m entitled to is presidential immunity, just like any other president would get. I’d be the only one that they would even consider not giving me immunity, because for whatever reason, people are angry that I’ve done such a good job and I’ve replaced people that were corrupt that was supposed to be president. So take on the fake Biden indictments. They’re all Biden indictments. These aren’t indictments, as we say, like God coming down from heaven and saying you did something wrong. These were indictments given and pushed by Joe Biden. And he told his DOJ to do it. Don’t believe anything else. He told his DOJ to do it. Go and indict him because he’s losing badly in the polls so badly that he figures this is the only way that he can win. The only problem is that thus far, it’s pushed us way up in the polls, higher than anybody’s ever been, actually, because people see it’s a scam and they see it’s a persecution and they don’t like it when it comes to anything, but certainly not when it comes to a president. They’re running a political campaign in a dirty way, even worse than they did previously. And frankly, it’s never happened in our country before. It only happens in third world countries or banana republics. They using their department of injustice to go after his a political appointment. And this is all him, 100% him. He’s the one that told him to do it and they obey his orders. It’s a shame never happened in the United States before, but it’shappened now. And he has to be careful because that could happen to him also. The next president, whoever that may be, has a statute of limitations that go back six years. That’s a long time, Joe. You have to be very careful. We have to guard and protect our country. We have to do what’s right for our country. You don’t indict your political opponent because he opposes the corrupt election, which you know was corrupt. Everybody knows it was corrupt. The American public knows it was corrupt. You don’t indict your political opponent. Thank you very much.
Sorry but I am going to have to down vote you on this one. That fascist 💩 knows nothing about football.
You don't even know what a fascist is.
Maybe I don't since it takes one to know one. Gave you an upvote since I know you don't get many of these on this website. Now go about posting your 💩 while you wait for your subscription to Fascism Monthly.
Judge Henderson on Trump's immunity claim: "I think it's paradoxical to say that his constitutional duty to 'take care that the laws be faithfully executed' allows him to violate criminal law."
Remember that trumps legal position today is in direct opposition to his impeachment trial. There he argued that impeachment was wrong and the criminal court was the appropriate remedy if any wrongdoing was committed.
Today he is arguing that only impeachment is an appropriate remedy for a President.
He thinks this guy should be POTUS - everything both say should be taken with a grain of salt as they are both mentally ill.

The amount of projection from himself onto Biden is record setting. I came help thinking of this wise observation from an expert that fled from such a Russian dictator.
“If you’re a thief, accuse your enemies of thievery. If corrupt, accuse your rivals of corruption. If a coward, accuse others of cowardice. Evidence is irrelevant; the goal is to dilute the truth and the case against you with “everyone does it”. Trump’s unfounded attacks on others of the things he is demonstrably guilty of aren’t mere projection. They are a tactic to lower the moral bar for all, to wave off his corruption and abuse as normal. This has been the ploy of dictators for decades, to say that anyone accusing them of crimes is a hypocrite. Not to say they are good, but that we are all bad, that there is no good or evil, no truth, just power.”
Who knew trying to overturn an election could be considered criminal in nature?
In a new filing to the Fulton County Superior Court to presiding Judge Scott McAfee, Trump’s attorney argued Trump “lacked fair notice” that his conduct could be considered criminal:
Our country has a longstanding tradition of forceful political advocacy regarding widespread allegations of fraud and irregularities in a long list of Presidential elections throughout our history, therefore, President Trump lacked fair notice that his advocacy in the instance of the 2020 Presidential Election could be criminalized. President Trump, like all citizens, is entitled to have fair warning as to where the line is drawn which separates permissible activity from that which is allegedly criminal. See United States v. Lanier, 520 U.S. 259, 265 (1997) (“‘No man shall be held criminally responsible for conduct which he could not reasonably understand to be proscribed.”). “Due process bars courts from applying a novel construction of a criminal statute to conduct that neither the statute nor any prior judicial decision has fairly disclosed to be within its scope…” Id. at 266 (internal citations omitted). “[A] statute or a rule may be held constitutionally invalid as applied when it operates to deprive an individual of a protected right although its general validity as a measure enacted in the legitimate exercise of state power is beyond question.” Boddie v. Connecticut, 401 U.S. 371, 379 (1971).
A hot mic caught journalists joking about Trump being assassinated as they awaited his appearance at the federal courthouse where his appeal will be held.
