One additional thought that I may not have really said

I guess this is implicit in my other post but I think it should be said explicitly.

Trump showed on 1/6 that he loved watching his supporters "fight for him". Honestly for a narcissist like him is there any better feeling than seeing people go to battle for you? His use of language that hits upon the idea of civil war or fighting the results in the street is done to give permission to the folks from 1/6 who felt their President called them there.

That is likely why he calls them hostages and says he will get them out because he needs his supprters to know he has their back if they need to do this again.

I know it all sounds crazy, it sounds crazy to me as I type it but having watched the last 8 years I cant dismiss the idea as crazy.
