Yes, it was obviously a trap. And my opinion is that some DemoKKKrat SwampCritters otherwise known as Congress, some of the police, and likely the Mayor, and some Rinos SwampCritters were all in on it.
It could have been very much worse. The President was almost an hr. late, and spoke longer than was necessary. However, the actual instigators, arrived while POTUS was speaking and it was a 45 minute from that location to the capital.
So there was no way that MAGA people started it and no way that POTUS incited it. Their pre-planned schedule was off due to POTUS being late.
Had POTUS not been late, there would have been more people there and there would have been a lot worse confusion.
So you had what was a handful of bad actors, instead of a huge crowd to call a massive riot. Making their exaggerations so obvious that everyone knows they are telling lies.

You are presenting logic and "common sense ".
Mob Rule doesn't follow commom sense.
Notice how quickly the Dim's and the media and press releases came out calling the President's speech as incitement to riot.
Coincidental ? I think NOT !
This only reaffirms my contention that AntiFa / BLM are arms of the militant DNC / Dim Congress.
The Dim's were all ginned up and ready to roll with this narrative of Presidential incitement to riot before it even happened . Coincidence in an election year, unlikely .
And the DNC publicity machine were unprepared for him to be late for his speech.
Another case of Dim constructed 'false flag' incident, failing and floundering due to inaccuracies.
