Were you surprised that Trump wanted to go to the Capitol on January 6th?

According to testimony yesterday, June 28th, Trump wanted to go to the Capitol with his rioting supporters, but his advisors stopped him.

Most people I have heard talking about this were saying that he promised the people at the rally that he would be with them, but that he never intended to go, but no, it seems he did want to go. I thought maybe he was saying he would be with them, like in spirit, but no, I was wrong too, he actually did want to go. From what was said in the hearing they had to hold Trump back from going.

What do you think he intended to do with that crowd? I was thinking maybe he thought he could go stand over Pence and intimidate him into not certifying the election. I have this picture in my head of those QAnon lunatics picking Trump up and passing him over the crowd, like the male students at my university use to do with us women, passing us up the football stadium.
