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).

Quick question: How did moving the crowd to the Capitol fit in with the 
rest of Trump's plan, e.g., the Green Bay Sweep? 

That should give us some sense of his "intent." 

Claiming the election was "stolen" and calling a crowd to be on hand at
precisely the moment the election was to be certified, knowing many were armed 
and telling them to take their country back . . . 


Then, as Commander in Chief, watching them riot in the Capitol for over two hours
ignoring pleas to stop it.
