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.

Bill Ayers said that they’d have to snuff out at least 25 million Americans who couldn’t or wouldn’t be re-educated

I think such a camp would be pretty great. A colony would be even better. A colony where they left us alone would be ideal.

Biden did not win the election at all, not even close. He has been placed in office by election fraud. However, this must be God’s will because it is happening. Many sinful people in the United States who have turned their backs on God are going to learn a lesson now.

Our next leader will have to be at the head of an army, not a candidate for office.

We get to suffer for the sins of others. It's going to happen now.

President Trump fought the steal to the end. He has been fighting the swamp since even before his inauguration. The swamp is deeper and more deadly then we believed.

don’t concede. He can always retain the the right to make claims.

Huh?

So two questions. Who got to him to get this speech out? And who’s been poking him in the ribs and egging him on UP TO this point?
