They styled themselves "Trump's army," under his orders to take the country back.

Exactly, but this is where it gets nitpicky over Trump's intent vs interpretation.

I'm sure Trump's camp is arguing that he never explicitly said to do it, and it's not his fault that those who stormed the Capitol Building chose to interpret it that way and did what they did.
But he sure never told them to immediately stop or not go once he found out what they were doing (until hours later at least), thus giving impression he did intend for them to do what they did (or at least he didn't care if they did).
