1. Trump lunged for or grabbed the steering wheel in "The Beast" because he wanted to go to the Capitol where his supporters were going. So what? It's illegal for a politician to want to go to where their supporters are? Since when? Trump's team kidnapped him and took him to a place Trump didn't want to go instead of going to the Capitol, against his will? Don't Americans, including presidents, have the right to go where they want to go? As an aside, many secret service members on detail with Trump at the time are willing to testify that the whole story is false anyway and that Trump never lunged for the steering wheel. 2. Trump was upset that his supporters weren't getting into the pre-Capitol rally fast enough so, even though he knew some of them were armed, he wanted the metal detectors to be removed because it was slowing down his supporters from getting in and he didn't believe that any of these weapons posed a threat to him because they were supposedly all Trump supporters. It's important to note that this rally was NOT being held at the Capitol, even though many in the crowd were expected to go to the Capitol after the rally. Don't they have metal detectors at the Capitol? If Trump supporters were armed at the pre-Capitol rally wouldn't their weapons not make it through when they reached the Capitol?
If you watched the video the President wasn’t in the “Beast”. They used another vehicle, a Suburban, more appropriate for the environment. Any talk of the “Beast” is willful distraction.
