Trump finally admits defeat: 'A new administration will be inaugurated on January 20'
Yahoo News ^ | January 7th, 2021 | David Knowles

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.

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

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

GOD has the final say.

I wish I could believe the same but after the last 60 days of “bombshells” turning into duds I do not see that happening. It seems like everyone has the inside track on secret meetings and evidence with nothing to show. We know the truth but the communist will never let it out. Now comes the retribution for us all.

Notice he didn't say “the Biden administration”?

Remember what Winston Churchill said, “Never, never, never give up.”

Knowing, by what is observable, President Trump is of that same mindset. So I will be also.

In the first place you lying son of a bitch, it was not a defeat. It was a theft. Neither Joe Biden nor Kamala Harris are President nor Vice President. They are thieves. President Trump and the American [Americans, bot the parasites that reside here but Americans. there is a difference] were betrayed and sold down the river by the Republican Party.

President Trump will always be my President. Neither Joe Biden nor Willie Brown's whore will be my president. They will be forever as far as I am concerned, Joe Biden. possible child molester and Kamala Harris, Willie Brown's whore, thieves. In closing, Republicans have the same status Judas Iscariot: Betrayer.

“Trump is admitting only that they got away with cheating him of his victory.”

Yep.

They stole it. And they’ll get away with it.

I guess that is the Kraken.

Yes. But the “winners” will come to bitterly regret the Biden-Harris administration.

He did not admit defeat. He has not conceded. He has not backed down from his claims the election was stolen. He is simply acknowledging that there is no further option left for him to prevent Biden from becoming President from a fraudulent election.

Thank you. It is one of the saddest statements about our country I’ve ever spoken but IMO it is one hundred percent true. Every step of the way officials have either broken the law, obstructed the law or ignored their duty to act on the law.

The few who honestly stood against this destruction of the electoral process are such a small minority as to be statistically insignificant.

Those few deserve credit for doing the right thing but they couldn’t stand against the tidal wave of seditious characters opposing them.
