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.

If evidence is examined in a court of law that proves the election null and void, could that cancel Biden’s presidency?

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?

If we get endless backbreaking forced labor, we can always die.

He never had a single day of an uncontested presidency...never ever! Constantly harassed, berated, put down, belittled defiled and lied about! And then there was CV - an accident - after all that he had achieved and accomplished with no wars started, push back on CHINA and a border wall, and booming economy - but then NONE OF THAT matter - just eights ago CV scattered everything (unplanned - with our own money) and then between 10;30 pm and 4 am an amazing victory disappears as fast as CV appeared! SUCH BAD LUCK! BS! AND NO ONE IN POLITICS GIVES A GOOD GOD DAMN! disappear DONALD JOHN TRUMP - They SAY - you are an asshole! YEA, how soon they don’t need ya and forget!

What does your word “pinned” mean? Your post makes no sense.

Cut and past from youtube. The user who uploaded the footage from Jan 2005 pinned his comment under the video.

That was with a population of 150 million. Now it’ll be more than 50 million.

No, he didn’t and he never should.
One should never concede to fraud.
This was a statement acknowledging that our corrupt institutions have selected a senile fraud to be the next President.

“ Bill Ayers said that they’d have to snuff out at least 25 million Americans...”

I want Bill to personally come to snuff me. Let’s see what kind of man he is.

I thought, gee what if the Qtips spun this story:

The patriots staged these “attacks” on Congress to force Congress to demand National Guard protection, so Trump calls in the guard and then arrests them all.

Well, I’m not very good at Q stuff.

Be funny if what he meant by “new administration” was actually an administration of him + someone other than Pence.

What? There’s another meaning to what he said other than that?

Arts and crafts? If you're willing to wear a skirt then you can do drag screen story hour.

If you're willing to make a greater sacrifice then trans modeling runway may be your future!

I will not believe anything until Rosie O’Donnell gets up and sings. Then I’ll know its over.

I will also know that God is done with America . . . good luck with that!
