Trump had already authorized troop deployment. Pelosi doesn’t cut the orders but she sure has the authority to request.

That link doesn't have anything to do with the facts. It merely expresses someone else's opinion about what Pelosi should have done.The facts don't fit their fantasies.
And no, Trump had not "already authorized troop deployment". He'd made an offhand comment that he and his supporters claimed after the fact was an authorization, but the military brass in the room at the time had no way of knowing he intended it as one (probably because he didn't - I doubt if even Trump himself knows for sure about that). It is also a matter of public record that Trump spent hours watching the insurrection on TV and cheering them on, before telling them only with visible reluctance to go home.
