"Well you see, there were a lot of people, great people, they showed up and cheered. And they were a little mad and upset about the fake... the fake news, the fake results, stolen results, just awful stuff. So I asked them to do what they can to save our country... by going down and you know, being peaceful, very peaceful. No one died, Ashli Babbitt died, but it was very peaceful."
It’s important to remember that before the attack on January 6, Trump engaged in a state pressure campaign to have states overturn the election and name him as the winner.
On January 2, 2021, Trump called the Georgia Secretary of State Raffensperger and told him to find 11,000 votes. When Raffensperger refused to comply, Trump threatened him with criminal prosecution.
When Trump’s state pressure campaign did not work, he focused on the fake electors plot. Despite White House Counsel advice, false electoral certificates were submitted to stop the peaceful transition of power.
When the fake electors plot did not work, Trump then told his supporters to travel to Washington. “Be there, will be wild!" In his speech, Trump said “fight” 20 times. Knowing they were armed, Trump told his followers to march to the Capitol and “fight like hell”. And they did.
From 1:10 PM to 4:17 PM, Trump did nothing to stop the attack on January 6. For 187 minutes. A total dereliction of duty.

I don’t think I ever saw that it was literally named the “Save America March”. I mean…

I like how he called it the "Save America March".
How did you want to "Save America" exactly?
