Trump finally admits defeat: 'A new administration will be inaugurated on January 20'

Two months after the 2020 presidential election, less than a day after Congress certified the Electoral College results, and facing increasing pressure to resign, Donald Trump finally admitted on Thursday that he had lost and would not serve a second term.

“Now Congress has certified the results. A new administration will be inaugurated on January 20th,” Trump said in a two-minute video posted to his Twitter feed. “My focus now turns to ensuring a smooth, orderly and seamless transition of power.”

He did not mention the name of the man who defeated him, President-elect Joe Biden. There has been no indication from the White House that Trump has, or intends to, call Biden to concede. But the president’s remarks were a stark contrast to statements he made on Wednesday, when he encouraged tens of thousands of his followers to head to the U.S. Capitol to disrupt the joint session of Congress in which lawmakers were voting on certifying the Electoral College returns. Trump had sought to block that certification, and a mob of more than 1,000 of his supporters clashed with police, broke windows and stormed into the Capitol, halting the proceedings for hours. Four people died during the melee.

Trump began his latest video by addressing what he called the “heinous attacks” on the Capitol.

Finally, Mr. President...

I think he should have made this speech in December after the Electoral College met...

Then he could have focused on helping two GOP incumbents win re-election in Georgia...

I was unhappy that President insisted on challenging the result until January 6...

Thank you, Mr. President, for what you did during last 4 years...You accomplished many things in both foreign and domestic affairs...

What happened on Wednesday was terrible...

I wish Americans would recognize accomplishments of President Trump...But, now the focus is on what some unruly people did on Wednesday...Very disappointing...

I like the way u think!

You’ll have to take a ‘’shower’’ first.

Ayers should start with himself.

“seems like deep fake“

I agree. His words, the video, even his hair color, are off. It’s the same weird choreographed 2-angles he’s used a few times recently since Christmas. Were they fake too? The video was better before.

But why? If it’s the Deep State, why didn’t they make him say “concede”? (Are they trying to give hope to some and continue to take their names.WTF?)

If Trump edited/green-screened it, why not just make a real one?

[MayflowerMadam]

I don’t see where he admitted “defeat”. (He won and he knows it.)
I don’t see where he conceded in any way. (Why should he? He won.)
He acknowledged transition.

The Second Coming
BY WILLIAM BUTLER YEATS

Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.

Surely some revelation is at hand;
Surely the Second Coming is at hand.
The Second Coming! Hardly are those words out
When a vast image out of Spiritus Mundi
Troubles my sight: somewhere in sands of the desert
A shape with lion body and the head of a man,
A gaze blank and pitiless as the sun,
Is moving its slow thighs, while all about it
Reel shadows of the indignant desert birds.
The darkness drops again; but now I know
That twenty centuries of stony sleep
Were vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle,
And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,
Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?

Trump tried to save a nation that didn’t deserve to be saved.

If God allowed this nation to stand, he’d have a lot (pun) of ‘splainin’ to do to the old inhabitants of Sodom and Gomorrah.

[Osagegirl]

Because they know he knows #Italydidit. I can’t believe after how we supported him that he would walk away knowing we are going to pay for our loyalty for him, which I do not regret. General Flynn tweeted yesterday about the final evidence of the person that flipped the vote with their signed affidavit. I can’t believe the President would walk away without a fight

“ I can’t believe the President would walk away without a fight.”

Uh, guess you’ve been away for the last 4 years. As it stands now he is totally alone. The only thing that could change anything now is if the 75,000,000 of us who voted for him joined in another march on Washington, then a march on television stations, then a march on Big Tech headquarters, then in a march on the homes of Pelosi, Schumer, Mc Connell , etc.

Everything ( that’s Everything) is controlled by the Left/Deep State. One man cannot go it alone.

The election was stolen in a bipartisan manner. Not a single elected GOP swamper dropped a dime on the scam McCarthy and China Mitch are running. Not. a. one.

If that doesn’t show you Trump is riding solo in the swamp nothing does.

[MarDav]

And, (think about this for a minute) Trump is us.

Your comment regarding your interpretation of the President’s speech is completely useless. Haven’t you learned enough to not believe one word the MSM spews forth. Posting and then agreeing with a yahoo news release is unconscionable.

You don’t appear to have the capacity to read or comprehend above a fifth grade level. Do your self a favor and ask the thread moderators to remove this thread so your ignorance isn’t exposed for everyone to see.

The 20th (and it may need to be the 21st) - is going to be hard on people around here - because Q has stolen their brains. They think the sting is underway.
My once beloved Free Republic - a place I have been for 22 years - has become a nut house.
**********************************************************************
Hey DA, you are a Quitter. Your comment places you at #111 (you said so yourself)in the race to be the nut house champion. Keep trying, I know you can do better than that.

[LS]

Indeed. But if His final say is different from yours, what then?

[New Perspective]

You speak the truth, thank you for posting.

You speak the truth, thank you for posting.

Went back and re-read post #63 by Tiger’s eye. I agree, he is laying out the truth, if CCCP Joe gets to put his hand on the inauguration Bible.

But, I don’t believe he will.

Every resignation in Trump’s current Admin means the next Admin can’t help but be ‘new’.
