Yes, the DoD leaders in the Pentagon were stymied by the lack of direction from POTUS. And the DC National Guard had been ordered not to intervene in any civil disturbances militarily, again per direction from the White House, supposedly out of concern for the problems presented during the demonstrations the previous summer.

Eventually, the Vice President ordered the troops to come to the capitol. Despite his actual lack of authority to take such action (which angered POTUS when he did) the DoD took that as the opportunity to do what needed to be done.
When the president is mounting a coup against the government it is difficult to get a rational response when the orders have to come from the guy committing the treason.
I think your idea that the coup was being planned when Trump told the PBs to step back and stand by is accurate. As the Committee has demonstrated, almost everything he did in the campaign makes sense if you factor in that he was planning a coup from early in 2020.
I just feel it is the piece that will trigger that place in many people’s brains connected to fight or flight. As in, where will the troops be when the f-ing Trump trucks and dress up fake ass pussy chamo army guys with automatic weapons show up at my door, my town, my election?
Who is he Commander-in-chief of? What the f*ck did his allies think he meant when he told the Puss Boys to stand back and stand by? Geez for crying out loud. I feel it his most serious mistake. Not that I like seeing that coward Pence get a medal for calling in the troops albeit so late, but so be it. I just look forward to every deliberate word coming out of Cheney’s and Thompson’s mouths when the knife used by Trump to screw the people of this country is twisted in his screeching, whining, smarmy countenance.
